The fact that over 90% of the main players that actually deal with horses aren't on Twitter says something. I actually thing that having more accomplished industry people on Twitter would be a positive thing.

One solution: don't follow Michelle Beadle. And if you are, unfollow her.

As for her, she isn't as funny or attractive as she thinks.

Jason makes light-hearted of fun of everyone, but mostly himself. What possible harm is there in that picture? If that kind of thing offends somebody Twitter probably isn't for that person.

There are a lot of creeps on Twitter. Horse racing Twitter has a fair share like every other sport. But Jason Beem isn't one of them and never has been. If you don't like someone, block them or mute them---problems solved.

Many obviously think she is or she wouldn't be so successful.

The reason, IMO, that 90% of the main players (I'm sure you made that up, but let us pretend it is accurate) is that they are older than the vast majority that use Twitter. There are plenty of very successful people in the business on Twitter from jockeys to trainers to owners to track executives and other employees. They do just fine and enjoy it best I can tell.

Im not talking about fans. I'm talking about trainers, jocks and breeders. Not many are active users. Many have told me it's a waste of time.

I specifically said trainers, owners, and jockeys. I've seen plenty breeders as well.

Maybe it is a waste of time if you are already successful, like Todd Pletcher for example. But guys like Clement, McLaughlin, Irad Ortiz and Danny Caldwell are hardly small timers. They do a good job on Twitter and help grow the sport.

I'll stand by my 90% number there are a few hundred jocks and trainers and a few thousand trainers. Just my opinion.

They are missing out. The true big names in the game that are on Twitter are mostly treated very well as best I can tell and promote the sport. And again, for the buttheads, BLOCK. It is easy.

I think she's just kind of funny but I love how she speaks her mind. She really gave it to Stephen A. when they were beefing about domestic violence. She's a Lebron hater but I still think she's awesome and for her age I think she's good looking.

Physically, she's fine. But she comes across as arrogant, and that makes her more unattractive.

Why does her attractiveness have anything to do with her opinion? When was the last time somebody discounted your opinion because of your appearance?
