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...

looks kind of fruity

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.

"can I have $200 win on #134"

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

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

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?
