Is it me or does that horse looking like a Steeplechase horse landing after a hurdle?

You would think Churchill Downs could pay a graphic artist to get an accurate depiction of a Thoroughbred racing.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

My mind is a glow with whirling transient nodes of thought, careening through a cosmic vapor of invention...

eajinabi 11-03-2007 01:10 PM

looks kind of fruity

ateamstupid 11-03-2007 02:09 PM

I have to agree with Mr. Pants. Terrible.

Danzig 11-03-2007 02:53 PM

not very good at all.
but then it's par for the course, last years was bad as well.

robfla 11-03-2007 03:12 PM

"can I have $200 win on #134"

cowgirlintexas 11-03-2007 04:14 PM

Looks a bit "hokey" to me. Does look like a jumper not a race horse.

Riot 11-03-2007 04:43 PM

It reminds me of Currier and Ives prints, where the horses were depicted galloping in unnatural positions.

Kinda funny that that poster went through "vetting" by a focus group. Must be a consensus result :p

Storm Cadet 11-03-2007 05:27 PM

Churchill was going to use this one :eek:

Ditto

Maybe Kentucky is going politically correct....Horse racing meets the gay pride colors

justindew 11-04-2007 07:11 AM

I sweat to God, it looks like something a 1st grader made. Not that it matters what the logo looks like, but why bother if that's the best you can do?

i thought the same thing!! then i decided to give them benefit of the doubt, and assume the pic was 'taken' from the infield side.

Then they should have included a couple of layers of chain link fence on top.

SuffolkGirl 11-05-2007 10:00 AM

Is that turkey supposed to be a horse?
What a mess, are they out of their minds. I thought Dali and Picasso were dead.
Makes the Derby logo look magnificent now.

Coach Pants 11-05-2007 11:34 AM

One of the finalists for the Belmont.

Hysterical, esp the Presented by NYRA in the top right corner. LOL.
The sad thing is, it's the best of the three.
