Asmussen winning the Eclipse for Trainer of the Year is an example what's wrong with this sport - they're rewarding the cheaters. This has me a little upset :mad: The other trainers were so much more worthy.

I know that not everyone shares my view but I'm bummed Einstein didn't win...

Also, for those of you that were watching, how many of you wanted to yell at Jess Jackson, "SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!"

And I really want to like Jess cause I love his horse but jeez... just take your award, say thank you and go back to your table.

Why are the cheaters even eligible?

More worthy based on what?

Asmussen was about a 1-to-5,000 favorite to win that award based on how the voters have historically voted in that category.

I don't know, classier people, they win without cheating... I'm just not a fan of Asmussen and trainers like him... but that's just my opinion.

How many votes did Ness get?

Gio Ponti didn't deserve the two Eclipse Awards that he won?

Asmussen is the single nicest trainer I've ever talked to in terms of being pleasant and engaging.

But yeah, he's been caught cheating before. Not like that was going to matter enough to make the vote close.

He, Steph Beattie, and Doug Shanyfelt were the three nominations for small circuit juicer of the year.

My comment wasn't about "deserving", I just wanted Einstein to win, Gio Ponti already had one Eclipse, I had hoped that Einstein could get one as well.

Jeff Mullins is a really nice guy.

Nice has nothing to do with it though, does it?

Same here. I don't know who deserves it... I just wanted Einstein to win. Sentimental favorite.

Leparoux wins...

33% Wins and 66% ITM the Eclipse would have to go to Ness.

Dominguez got screwed.

my miss storm cat 01-18-2010 09:21 PM

Congrats to whoever wins...

They both deserve it. :tro:
