Keep defending rich guys who take advantage of young women. It's a good look.

A lot of prominent people in the sport gave her a shot. Gave her room and board. They're all scum too I guess.

We never hear of this if Mattress Mack isn't running a "Going Out of Business" horse operation.

Tell yourself otherwise...won't change that truth.

So, is it just the daughter being taken advatsge of? What sbout her old man?
And you do know real life isnt good guys vs bad? One or the other? Borrell turning out to be a shiftless, responsibilty dodging scam artist scum bag who gets new threads for the bc while the horsed under her care go hungry doesnt make mattress mack a good guy.
He probably hired her because she was cheap, and less than ethical. Birds of a feather and all that.
But him being crooked doesnt turn her into a crook. She has place after place left high and dry, before and after mack.

I stopped reading after the second sentence.

If side deals aren't allowed (and they shouldn't be) then she has the money to keep the horses fed.

But she shouldn't have been within 500 yards of Runhappy. That's on the owner.

It's insulting to all of the successful female trainers in the sport in a society that is focused on propping up women who achieve greatness in a game that has been dominated by men.

And it's mostly to blame on a guy who sells mattresses.

It's almost to the point we're in a Mel Brooks movie.
