Really, you need to check on the history of recent Triple Crown owners.

IMO, Iavarone isn't 1/2 the azzhole Affirmed's owner, Louis Wolfson, was. If a multiple-convicted felon ex-con like Wolfson who also brought down the guy who was nominated as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court can own a horse, then why not Iavarone?

But wait, there's more! Seattle Slew's owners fired their trainer LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER WINNING THE TRIPLE CROWN. OK. sh!t happens. But then they screwed him real good by not giving him a breeding share in the horse.

It's hard to top those two owners for being less than perfet role models.

If you have a problem, it should be with the people who regulate the sport.

For the record, the Chenery woman seemed a decent sort.


My problem is the guy is a blatant liar. I have worked on trading desks with guys from firms like Iavarone's. They are the type of people who would sell their own mother down the river if the price was right. They usually last about a week in the REAL trading world.
