in this article he chastises US horsemen for not contesting the big European races. he also gives the two reasons why he thinks the US doesn't go over, 1) we are too cheap (have to pay our own way unlike Dubai), and 2) an ugly inbred provincialism that says anything that isn't American isn't worth it.
he says this attitude damages the foundation of racing in the US. huh?
he should leave out the commentary imo, and just write about the sport.

You remind me of the type of person that if they hear something contrary to their religious belief, get's all hackled up, like their very beliefs are being questioned and their faith rocked.
Who really cares.
