IEAH still whining, threatening to go to Haskell

[ArlJim78]

i like how he has it in his mind that the surface was the problem and that the goal is a showdown with Curlin. better to first concentrate on making sure he can beat horses like Smooth Air or Da'Tara.

Says Benny the Bull didn't handle the track either. one small difference. Benny won!

maybe you haven't noticed but Big Brown can't reproduce the Florida derby effort, and Smooth Air has continued to develop. keep trying.

This is the most ridiculous reply I've ever witnessed on an internet message board. Please continue.

I understand that Iavarone and IEAH aren't the most likable people in the world, but it's a bit unfair to attack everything they say and do. Iavarone's not the anti-christ. Look:

And trying to get the best conditions for your horse, or trying to influence track officials to give you the conditions you want (like tightening up the track) isn't anything new and certainly isn't nefarious. In fact, some would consider such bluster to be part of the game. How is this any different than Asmussen complaining about Curlin's weight assignment? It's the same thing -- threaten to walk and maybe you'll get what you want.

not a good example because he gets slammed more than anyone.

Speaking of Frank Lyons.....he wouldnt shut his fat trap all Belmont week..even said he thought that BB is the best horse EVER to step on a racetrack. Probably had one too many budweisers before he said that. It's funny how nobody has heard a peep from Lyons since.

There is a canned cool person response to this by the really, really, really cool people on this board, but I'm stumped.
