There are many people in the business that do good things that don't go looking for credit. Many trainers do things like provide places to live for guys that work on the backstretch that were injured.

I think many people would have provided money for this family because he is a policeman. Things are already set up to help them. It is the people that you never hear about that need the help. But I guess you don't get in the dailynews by doing things quietly.
they were just trying to give a good story and reason for Belmont Day and Big Brown, nothing at all wrong with that.
