Race Horse Idol: The Judges

In honor of Ellen DeGeneres' announcement that she would be replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol, I've come up with a version that I would like to call Race Horse Idol. However instead of singing, the judges will be race horses (retired) and they will be "judging" the contests (who are currently in training). I'm only going to be doing series for the next 2 weeks. I would like to note that this is just for fun, and something to pass the time until the next majors stakes races (nothing to take away from the Ruffian and Garden City which I'll preview on Friday). So hopefully it will go well.

Tonight please meet the judges, there are four of them.

Head Judge: Holy Bull (Great Above x Sharon Brown)



Yes I was tempted on putting John Henry as the "Simon Cowell" of the group, but decided against it. And here's why, while John had the Simon like qualities to him, Holy Bull has what I consider the producer side to him. He was able to show that he was the best at he did and earned Horse of the Year (one of the contests for this years "Race Horse Idol" just won a race he did).

Judge: Smarty Jones (Elusive Quality x I'll Get Along)



I'm considering him the "Randy Jackson" of the group. Since Randy says "Dog" alot, and well Smarty is from the wrong side of the tracks. Like Holy Bull, he showed that he was the best of his crop.

Judge: Bird Town (Cape Town x Dear Birdie)



I don't know alot about Kara DioGuardi, but I have a feeling Bird Town is up her alley. She just seems to be classy and well Town's owner Marylou Whitney is just that. Remember Luv Gov almost didn't run in the Preakness if he was going to keep you know who out.

Judge: Rags to Riches (AP Indy x Better Than Honour)



The "Ellen/Paula" of the group. Had the grace to her that reminded me of Paula, and well if you watched Octave's CCA Oaks win in 2007 then you know Rags to a biter. And that reminded me of how funny Ellen is (and yes there are other horses who bite, but hte point I'm making is that both Paula and Ellen can held/hold their own in a male dominated area).

Host: Funny Cide (Distorted Humor x Belle's Good Cide)



The Host with the most, Ladies and Gentlemen Ryan Seacrest, I mean Funny Cide! And yes this is me being bias.

So what do you think of the "judges" and "host" let me know by leaving a comment.

And again this is purely fictional and for fun. This is more then likely going to be the only time that I'll be doing this.

Next up the contestents and then the compition begins!
