I was recently informed (on facebook, oh boy) that Mine That Bird's Derby win was likely the result of Calvin carrying a buzzer.

Happy retirement, Calvin.

Sad that a rumor like that is going public and trying to ruin his reputation. What about the other 2 derby horses and Rachel? Did he buzz those horses to get wins too? Did he have a history of cheating before?

Thats not a good thing to say unless you have some evidence of it. .... and I really doubt that a "buzzer" makes a horse run faster anyway.

You doubt that a "buzzer" can make a horse run faster?

I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. Excellent price right now. Are you interested?

I did. His sudden retirement was so out of the blue. No reason, just i quit. Whats the saying, act in haste, repent at leisure?
