Yea, my biggest beef is with the picture itself, either should have been one of him winning or now walking around enjoying survival, not the "moment". It's too sensationalized a picture. The good news was before and after

As much as I love the Form I think they did the wrong thing here. The picture that should be up is of Barbaro crossing the finish line in the Derby or something like that.

Thats the right opinion. Plain and simple. Poor taste shown by drf.

The picture that should be shown was that of Honour Old Glory crossing the line first in the last race on the second to last Monday of the Saratoga meet. That was the most significant race of the year because it was the only real good ticket I cashed.

That was an okay ticket Kev, but certainly not compared to Honour Old Glory.

You like D Money today?

This is very true. There were some beautiful pictures of Barbaro that could have been used, yet DRF chose that one. Very poor taste...
