I'm thinking about kicking in a buck for every beer I drink that day.

Great gesture, but I'm not sure how far three or four dollars will go in this instance.

I'm surprised the guy doesn't drive a freaking Bugatti with all the big races he's won.

Three or four dollars? Hell, it would be pretty close to the $40 he might win.

I get a little annoyed when owners go to the press with things like this. It basically is a group trying to work on it's image with something like this. They just pocketed millions, couldn't they have just offered money privately instead of saying they would give part of winnings from the horse?

There are many people in the business that do good things that don't go looking for credit. Many trainers do things like provide places to live for guys that work on the backstretch that were injured.

I think many people would have provided money for this family because he is a policeman. Things are already set up to help them. It is the people that you never hear about that need the help. But I guess you don't get in the dailynews by doing things quietly.
