Are you always this negative?

We couldn't have the sport we love without them.

Oh I know you are a futurist that wants be see a mechanical gizmo on the back of horses. That would be interesting! Who would be to blame then?

Am I always this negative? Pretty much only when I respond to something simpleminded on Internet message boards, which sadly, is much too often.

As for being a futurist, I'm more of a pastist. What would be the point of having a mechanical gizmo as a jockey? I say let them run without the 110 pound handicap.

As an incentive to finish first in a race, male horses would get to be Golden Missile for a day, and female horses would get to be with a Golden Missile for a day!
