“That horse would have been in the top-5 if it had been ridden by someone with more stroke.”
Said by a judge (who shall remain nameless) regarding a horse in a high-profile class he had judged.
We’ve all been exposed to some “I can’t believe you just said that” moments in this industry we all love. Although we can only go by the ones we’ve heard, and each of you probably has a pretty good list of your own, this one has to rank right up there with the best of all-time. The best (or worst) part about this quote was that it actually came from a judge in reference to a class he had judged.
