If they have seats for B list celebrities that even People magazine doesn't care about, they should be able to accommodate the owners entering horses in their races.
Maybe if he didn't come off as such a doosh and entitled I'd be a little more sympathetic. I'm tired of millionaires like him whining. This is the way it's been for a long time and he knows it quite well- this isn't a change. You run on Derby Day, don't expect tickets. He's an assclown, even if I generally like his horses.

The funny thing is he promises the Vets the tickets, and expects somebody else to pay for it with their dime. Nice job of trying to make yourself look important.

That's what I found most hilarious, too. Nothing more eye-rolling than the One Percent whining when they don't get something for free.

Exactly - has he ever been denied free seats on any other Saturday when he's got a horse entered in an N1X? I doubt it.
