In this case I'm all right with that.

This thread is ridiculous. The guy recognized the winner on the turn and called the race accordingly. It just happened to be his jock that was on this horse, but he has done it repeatedly with other horses. I watch nearly every race at Hollywood, and to suggest there is a bias is fairly ridiculous. He is over the top with almost every horse that makes a big move, regardless of jock, and his over the top calls is what makes him so good.

And to have issue with his response is probably more ridiculous. He didn't curse, he didn't personally attack anybody, he in a sense made what I think most people took as a joke. To piggyback on what somebody else said, this is an internet message board, he didn't make the comment in a more professional setting. At what point is he allowed to just be himself? If he can't say whatever he feels like on an internet message board, then that is pretty sad.
