I don't mind being held to a higher standard....it's actually a compliment.

The dunce cap is a gimmick for fun and if used too much it loses its appeal. If you constantly mock yourself you look foolish. But, if you constantly take yourself too seriously, or this game too seriously, you damage your credibility. It's about balance.

It isn't holding you to a higher standard, it is taking advantage of someone willing to take a stance and laugh about it like you did. I agree that constant mockery does make a person turn into a joke. You are a normal joe to me, to everyone and if it was a different way I wouldn't like you.

Shuman would run this horse with 3 legs so it can hardly be a surprise he's going. And like every Derby horse, he'll take money.

I believe they are looking to cash in. "Derby horse for sale, Get your Derby horse here. Your wife can wear a silly hat and hon knob with the other silly knobs"

the want to cash in like Curlin's previous owners did.
