Your vote for Person of the Year.....

[my miss storm cat]

Anyone wanna make a nomination?

Mine goes to Ron Geary, owner of Ellis Park, for stepping in and scratching, buying, and retiring 17-year-old warrior Alpena Magic and giving him a new job..... the first Equine Ambassador of Ellis Park.

There was a lot of controvery surrounding this old guy but Mr. Geary single-handedly gave the story a happy ending.

For his act of kindness, his compassion, he gets my vote.

That's easy!

Mr. Steven Byk.....hands down!

I agree that was admirable, but Geary would get my vote simply for trying the 4% takeout Pick-4!

Yeah because the lawsuit has nothing to do with the decision.

I was thinking about Allam / Premium Tap and your nomination is along the same lines.....

Isn't that just a sad reflection though, that if there really were a POY Award it should be given just because a horse is kept in training?

Not knocking you here... just thinking out loud.

If he's not? if Curlin is not in training next year (... and i only say that because I've grown accostomed to the I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it syndrome), who gets it? Who deserves it?

The staff, vounteers and Committee of the Belmont Child Care Association and those who do the same for B.E.S.T.

I would have to say Nick Zito. First of all he is a very great man, very loyal, loving, trustworthy and he even managed to win some races this year.

This feels a little like finding the MVP for the Knicks.

I remember many years back when the Orioles let Eddie Murray walk, one of the reporters asking someone in management how they could let the team MVP go. The response: "We came in last with him, we sure as hell can come in last without him."

That's actually an old line and I think it was used with Ralph Kiner by somebody like Casey Stengal.
