Crist: Media Tending to get Hancock all Wrong
http://www.drf.com/news/media-tendin...cock-all-wrong
Great article by Steve. I had no idea that Drape and Fountaine made these comments about Seth Hancock. That's pretty disgraceful. I've always found Hancock to be a gentleman and it's not like he disrespected Zenyatta. In any case, why shouldn't he be thrilled about Blame? He stands Blame's sire and is now standing the colt himself............Must the whole industry part like the Red Sea and bow down in front of Zenyatta? She's just a horse, she's not a god(dess).

Even in retirement, Zenyatta continues to expose retards.

Ed Fountaine is the same guy who complained on closing weekend of the Saratoga meet about the 14 horse MSW won by Astrology that To Honor and Serve ran 2nd in. He felt that the race should have been split and keeping it one big field was a poor move by "the new NYRA."
Crist's piece is terrific. It's a shame he had to even dignify the remarks made by hacks like Fountaine and Drape.

On Thoroughbred Champions, they clearly disagree with the article - very surprising how many jumped down his throat. I remember Fountaine's comment about the race - I don't see why that was a big deal to him.

He's compared to Excellent Meeting to Alydar - he's posted about giving his pizza crust to a homeless guy - and he boxes about eight horses a race ... I would also venture to say he's one of the five or ten sharpest posters there.

If Zenyatta's connections wanted to court HOY favor for their mare, they'd denounce such outrageous accusations by these hacks.
Did I watch the same post race press conference as everyone else? I thought Seth Hancock was the essence of respect and admiration for Zenyatta. When asked about Horse of the Year, was he supposed to say something different than what he said? Zenyatta zealots have yet to learn that denigrating the competition cheapens their champion. She deserves better.

Blame should be HOY, obviously. If you put the accomplishments up on board with no names attached, no one in their right mind would vote otherwise: 3 for 4 in open Grade 1s, v. 0-1 in open Grade 1s, with that loss being a head to head loss to the other horse. But these cult-like idiots can't admit the obvious, so they continue on with any kind of nonsense they can latch on to. Actually, I am beginning to enjoy it. Their obvious foolishness is likely to provoke a backlash that guarantees exactly the opposite of what they seek. Keep it up, Zenyattards.
No one hates Zenyatta. Just about everyone hates Zenyattards, however. Ed Fountaine--Jesus, I thought he was discredited when horse racing astrology, aka "dosage", finally went the way of the dodo. And Thoroughbred Champions--the "racing as glorified petting zoo" crowd. Please don't tell me that that miserable broad from the AOL days is still in charge over there. At least Matt was always good for a laugh.

Just so I understand all of this...Seth Hancock is the worst guy ever because someone asked him after the Classic who should be HOY and he said Blame? He basically said he thought the race for HOY was on the track at CHurchill and Blame won?
Yet Team Zenyatta pandered to the media before the race saying she should be HOY regardless and they are great. Even after the race, when asked they said the same thing. What is the difference? What am I missing here? Are people this crazy? What was Hancock supposed to do, lie? Why is he not allowed to be proud of his horse?
