Boy, when I started scrolling down the elimination
page I kept saying,"Wow. Wow! WOW! ARE YOU KIDDING?!"
John and Steph, I sure do appreciate all the
coverage of events and the your website so don't take this
personally.
It looks like 118 or so signed up or were
invited, 101 started and only 28 finished. Almost all of the pulls were
lameness. Duh. Who'd a thunk that kind of "competition" could lame up a horse? I
think this is a horrible display of our sport. I am all for racing if you
prepare, riding if you just want to have fun and everything in-between. However,
this is on the verge of abuse.
Some will say, the vet control was very strict and
that is why so many horses were pulled.
To that I say, bullshit.
John and Steph, I would love to see what the top
ten horses in this race are doing next year. Maybe you could follow up
on that and report that they are still competing and sound. I would gladly eat
my words.
How about giving us a follow-up on last year's
winners of the President's Cup?
