I'm surprised at you for saying something so mean. I truly am.

It's his schtick to be over the top.

RHT aside...

I can't root for the horse due to the owners.

They are good for racing simply because they are the bad guys. They simply don't know or care that they are representing the sport.

Now that the Triple Crown is over it's going to be strictly talk for the next few months. Why are they constantly complaining? They are sitting on a gold mine.

They make me want to root for Shared Belief to stay healthy and become a super horse. Strictly for the simple fact that Coburn can't out-troll Rome.

I do understand, Coachie... the owners are idiots.

I will always root for the horse though.

Re RHT... I know some have had problems with him but the guy has never been anything but polite to me (and I don't recall him ever saying anything so negative directed at any horse so I am hopeful he didn't mean it and was having a bad moment or something).

Yeah I like the horse but Coburn had one of the biggest meltdowns in sports on Belmont weekend.

Coming off a performance like that it's best to not whine about the cost of prancing your golden goose around the beach...especially after you've banked a couple million.

People getting upset over typical redneck behavior is pretty funny.

These guys were thrown into the spotlight and they are OBVIOUSLY ill-prepared for the attention. They need to step back and let the horse do their talking for them.
