I thought the same thing... and then to ask Gretchen "was it peaceful?" Geesh, Larry...

[randallscott35]

Larry has simply gotten worse and worse at this. Its like trotting Dick Clark out there now. Time for Anderson Cooper to take over this gig.

not good, same thought here as well - put to death is unproffesional

love the fact Dr Dean Richardson is on, a class guy!

[randallscott35]

By the way, a little trivia, how is Anderson Cooper and horse racing connected?

[Cajungator26]

Ok, what kind of f-ing idiots are calling in?

[2MinsToPost]

I turned the show off when Larry King asked about Horse Slaughter - NO CLASS

[The Bid]

Larry is supposed to be a horseracing fan. He forgot Dean Richardsons name. So far its a butcher job, and bad interview, bad emails as well

Here comes Ho Derek and some other buffoons chiming in on horseracing.

HERE COME THE PETA PEOPLE. Right on cue.

[The Bid]

God, why is Larry saying "put to death" It doesnt even sound right in regards to this situation. I keep picturing them taking Barbaro to the firing range, or hanging him.

Andersen Cooper - son of Gloria Vanderbilt and Wyatt Cooper.
Gloria Vanderbilt was the only child of Reginald Vanderbilt and Gloria Morgan.
After her father died, Gloria's mother squandered her inheritance and Gloria's aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, became Gloria Vanderbilt's guardian and keeper of her "trust fund".


Gertrude Vanderbilt had married Harry Payne Whitney.

"Harry Payne Whitney was a major figure in thoroughbred horse racing. He owned a large stable and horse breeding farm where he developed the American polo pony by breeding American Quarter Horse stallions with his thoroughbred mares. He was thoroughbred racing's leading owner of the year in the United States on eight occasions and the breeder of almost two hundred stakes race winners. His Kentucky-bred horse Whisk Broom II raced in England then at age six came back to the U.S. where he won the New York Handicap Triple Crown, Whitney had nineteen horses who ran in the Kentucky Derby, winning it the first time in 1915 with Regret, the first filly ever to capture the race. Regret went on to earn Horse of the Year honors and was named to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame". Wikepedia

Bought time. Yep, he's a Whitney....It is also well known among the people in town in Saratoga that Anderson is gay. Not that it matters, but it isn't talked about much elsewhere.

Holy smart right here Randall, keep this person around

When I think of expert guests to comment on horse racing and horses, I always first think of Jack Hanna and Bo Derek.
