I did find the picture of very bad taste.
The American racing fan better used to foreign horses coming over and taking your prize money, and not just from England and Ireland.
Everyone laughs when they see a horse from India, but everyone used to laugh at horses from Hong Kong and Japan, but now people run scared of them.
Everyone has to start from somewhere. In the next 10 years, you'll see many top horses coming from the likes of India and even Turkey (yes, you read it right, i did say Turkey). They are up and coming countries in this game, and if the big racing countries around the world dismiss them as has been done before many of us could look like complete fools.

You could be right, and no problem if you are.
In the immediate future however, the gambler and handicapper in me says toss 'em from your wagers at American tracks.
For the record, I watched the race today without a wager, hoping the horse would show well.
And further for the record, I thought Mr. Frisky had a great shot at winning the Kentucky Derby some years back.
You live and learn.
