Breeders’ Cup denies first-timer entry; owner threatens lawsuit

[Merlinsky]

O'Brien and Coolmore would most certainly *not* bring a first time starter to the BC Juvenile Fillies. Acting like there's some unfair treatment going on here is ludicrous, freddy. It's a championship event and they're supposed to risk her acting nutty or at the very least making it seem less prestigious because a guy can write a check and doesn't care about overmatching and potentially ruining his horses?

I agree with Paolucci on one point: I'm ashamed he owns horses too.
