The simple fact is that people who waste money on the likes of Cowtown Cat in this Derby are foolish. They will lose their money ( just as I would in the cataclysmic event that Cowtown Cat even runs moderately well ) which is enough. Further humiliation isn't always necessary.
I wore the dunce cap once at Siro's last summer after declaring five or six times that if some big favorite won I would wear it the next day. Should I REALLY have had to wear it that one time?

but it is Cowtown Cat, while I agree that you should not wear the dunce cap anytime you do not like a horse and it wins, Cowtown is the horse that made you wear the Dunce last out... and you are still bashing him!!!
just like Cajun and Curlin, if Curlin wins Cajun must do something... maybe get a Curlin cap and make it her Avatar!
