You presented that race as if it was the same situation as Rupert's race. Rupert looked at your race, and posted how it looked to him like a very different situation for the horse involved. Instead of addressing what Rupert saw as a major difference in the level of trouble, you choose to post more insults.

Here's why I think a less sarcastic response was called for. By bringing up the other race, I assume you were trying to show that ordinary horses routinely win with the kind of trip Rupert's horse had. Shouldn't you have picked a horse that DID have the same kind of trip to make that point?
