Since you seem so enamored with him, what is it exactly you like so much? Maybe I'm missing something.

I've yet to really see anyone say anything other than he is spending money.

He's spending boatloads of cash, he's a New Yorker, he seems to actually care about the welfare of his horses, and most importantly, is a huge St. John's guy. Oh, and he hates the Yankees. So what if he has some bravado?

It's a real good way to try to hedge against getting those 1 to 9 odds on Derby Day...

Because a lot of rich people think making money is a sport

And like pinball, the rich people know their net worth number is the score, and they are always trying to set a new high score.
