I find it vulgar

Andy Beyer is an idiot. Why doesn't he go attacking Todd Pletcher for all the big races (except Triple Crown and Breeders Cup races ) he is winning with his operation.

Pletcher is dominating more than the people that idiot Beyer is attacking.

I would think the people that are in the breeding business love these guys for spending their money here.

The Beyer column certainly drew interest as evidenced by the "Letters to the Editor" page in my Sunday DRF. DRF printed two letters critical of Beyer's writing and one letter in support. Print space given to the Beyer critics was about 8-10 tmes the space given to the supporting letter.

At least as interesting is that Crist's Sunday column was devoted to the same topic. While Crist's column seemed to me to neither support or criticize Beyer, it obviously took a more modulated and, arguably, balanced look at the topic.
