jess jackson..villan(sp?) or necessary hero

[jrajf]

i have been listening and observing comments for awhile now regarding this rapschallian (sp?) charachter for awhile now and have the following comments


this guy presenting himself as a devil is really a hero..any good story has a bad guy and a good guy..this is the bad guy racing needs and doesnt have..(we have enough percieved bad guys via doping scandals).this guy one way or another has the tools to be a present and inescapable bad guy with really really good horse flesh to back him up and thus a story or drama that todays society demands to be in the now moment which racing seems incabapable of achieving.

this guy presents the perfect foil..someone to root against or for based upon his horses ability to perform and nothing else. if he wins you can hate him but if he wins it sure is good for the game. it seems too easy to root agianst him so as a horseplayer yu have to be looking for a reason to suppport him.

good vs evil in the purest sense ..just like any good book you read..

he gvies you a reason to love or hate..something racing needs to reach the great unwashed who havent yetgotten the rush from a 2.00 bet..
