So, I have a sportswriter telling me that if PD ever won the BC that it would be because every other horse was crummy and that he doesn't *deserve* to win a 5 million dollar race. What the heck kind of logic is that? It's not like PD has not shown himself. Yeah, he hangs, but he could easily get a big one one day and he doesn't "deserve" it? So why don't we just send in ballots based on paper statitstics as to who gets to deserve to be in a race or win a race. When industry folk have these kind of blinkers on, it is no @#$#$ wonder that racing doesn't enjoy the status it once did on a national scale. PD is the kind of horse people LOVE to watch and there is no one out there making historic moves on the the tracks, no Dr. ***er's, no Secretariat's, so just what is the point if you can't love a horse like PD and what is the point if you have to have some "super criteria" to "deserve" to be in a certain race. Good lord. If he consistantly came in last every year in the BC OK, I might concede, but he only improves. Grrrrrrr.
