[mreddie]

Totalist getting booed like John Cena.

 

[CrankyJay]

Oh shit, owner is bitching about the rules. Wow.

 

[Soroc]

I'm glad he spoke out about it! It is bullshit to have fresh horses in the last race.

 

[Parch]

Oooo. Salty.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Owner is pissed.

 

[Jarrod38]

Man the owner is pissed off.

 

[FTF]

Sigh, thought this was the year. One day I'll see one, one day.

Damn, owner is pissed and salty!

 

[JABEE]

Same thing happened to Smarty Jones

 

[thefro]

lol going all Richard Sherman now

 

[MetatronM]

LOL at this interview.

 

[Ilive1up]

lmao. this guy is a sore loser bitch.

 

[DemurOnion]

It's okay. He will still live out his days as a stud unleashing his seed into some fine horse girls.

I feel better now. I hope that is where he will go though. That owner looked like he might want to have him for dinner.

 

[DominoKid]

Salt

 

[Slayer-33]

Wait what the fuck? Fresh horses vs the one running in all races?

 

[CrankyJay]

Wife embarrassed.

 

[Cloudy]

The owner is salty as fuck lol. He has a point though.

 

[Enron]

Holy shit the owner, WOW.

Snapped at his wife on national TV!

Not a good look, sir!

 

[RangersFan]

salty motherfucker

 

[Leunam]

Dude was real upset, not just about losing either.

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn that interview. Preach!

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Oooo. Salty.

Doesn't work as an insult in horseracing because the horses enjoy licking salt.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

 

[DemurOnion]

salty motherfucker

Missed it what happened?

 

[Slayer-33]

Holy shit the owner, WOW.

Snapped at his wife on national TV!

Not a good look, sir!

She shouldn't nag him while he's like that.

 

[Freaky Fred]

stay salty Steve

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Almost saw some domestic violence live on TV there.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

wooo the owner is mad. he's right though, people run one race and not the other? that would be like if the heat decided not to play the second round of the playoffs and play in the semifinals.

 

[Soroc]

That was great. Sometimes somebody just has to have the balls to make a public statement about it. I really liked California Chrome cuz the owners were so blue collar and unrefined. People around him were all

 

[Ghost23]

They bought CC for $8,000. The owners are average joes. I would be super salty as well.

 

[Pimpwerx]

First time I've heard an owner lament the trainer shenanigans. I agree with him, but D. Wayne Lucas has a stronger case for getting boned. I've lost enough money betting on losers in the hope that I'll own sa winning stub for s triple crown winner. But the way it is now, its impossible. The next triple crown winner is going to be s monster horse. Seriously. PEACE.

 

[zroid]

dat salt

how embarrassing

 

[Nemesis121]

Fucking bullshit! They need to change the rules. You HAVE to run every race goddamnit. Sit out the Preakness my ass. It's shitty damnit!

This is why it's 37 years and counting, this is why your horse has to GREAT not very good, only time you will see a top tier horse race 3 times in 5 weeks if he/she is in contention for a TC, otherwise they might race 2-4 times/year, also the Belmont stakes is a hard race for any horse to win for less a 3 year old, i mention this before but this is how it stacks up..

Kentucky Derby 2000 meters
Preakness 1911 meters
Belmont Stakes 2400 meters

Belmont=death for very good horses....gotta be great to win it all...

 

[JABEE]

They boxed Chrome in

 

[Ecotic]

I don't really know anything about horse racing, and didn't know about this whole fresh horse thing. It definitely seems unfair.

 

[Babalu.]

whelp that just proves that hockey isnt a real sport so the stat is still alive.

really wanted to see him win.

and LMAO @

california rust
california netscape navigator

lololol

Do any of these horses die after these races or get injured regularly?

 

[Soroc]

I forgot the owner said some shit at the Preakness too. it was awesome. He was like hey churchhill downs take notice of baltimore. He said the treatment he received from the Preakness was way better than what he got at the Derby and called them out on it lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What makes all of this controversy and rage even funnier is that the actual horses don't give a shit.

 

[Enron]

What makes all of this controversy and rage even funnier is that the actual horses don't give a shit.

Just thinking "Please stop hitting me :x "

 

[Keyser Soze]

Trainers are allowed to target races for their horses. He could have done the same. This man is insane.

 

[sangreal]

That interview was like a wrestling promo. Cowards way out lol

 

[thisisalan]

Wow, that post-race rant by the owner was amazing! The clear thing to do at that point was to graciously accept the loss and congratulate the winner, but noooo, he goes on a rant about the race being unfair. So cringeworthy, but so entertaining.

 

[Talamius]

I don't really know anything about horse racing, and didn't know about this whole fresh horse thing. It definitely seems unfair.

I don't think NBC really wanted that brought into the casual public's eye. That will kill interest the next time this situation comes up.

It sucks but it's the way it's always been done.

 

[FTF]

I don't know much about horse racing either, and I get the fresh horse thing seems unfair, but is 3 weeks really not enough rest?

And I just re-watched Secretariat's 73 Belmont race and my god, that was amazing. 30 length win 0_o

 

[MetatronM]

whelp that just proves that hockey isnt a real sport so the stat is still alive.

That "stat" was bullshit anyway. There was a Triple Crown contender in 1981 when the Yankees played the Dodgers, the last time there was a major NY-LA championship, and they lost the Belmont too.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Horses are allowed to target races. He could have done the same. This man is insane.

Could have if he only wanted to win one race... like a coward.

 

[JABEE]

What makes all of this controversy and rage even funnier is that the actual horses don't give a shit.

"When will the injections and beatings end?"

 

[RangersFan]

get on with the hockey NBC

 

[Freaky Fred]

I don't really know anything about horse racing, and didn't know about this whole fresh horse thing. It definitely seems unfair.

It's been like that for 100 years. Coburn is just a sore loser

NYRA already changed the rules for him to let Chrome wear nasal strips and he still whines

 

[Onion_Relish]

I'd love to see this guy cut a promo on Monday Night Raw.
