Default American Pharoah's work (and the PC Police)

Here's the actual work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQdc...ature=youtu.be

Now the article about it that caused some lame drama: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ta-anita-drill

Now I'd love to talk about his work solely because wow, but the fun part comes after you read the article. Turns out some folks apparently paid less attention to American Pharoah's amazing work and got all hung up on the use of the word "victim" by Baffert. The author of the BH piece, Jeremy Balan later responded:

‏@BH_JBalan: "Those criticizing Baffert for using the word “victim” need to lighten up a bit..."

@BH_JBalan: "... It was a joke, and he immediately corrected with a better word. God forbid anybody have a personality."

Then of course the cranky PC police got madder right back at Jeremy. Guys, I dunno if you've noticed, but people on the internet can be super touchy and opinionated.
