It does little for the fans or the horses, and it seems to me that it encourages people like Jess Jackson to spend whatever it takes to get Rachel Alexandra away from her original owners so that he can work towards being awarded HOY for his acquisition three years in a row. I am disgusted by the politics involved in the award process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
