Meanest Trainer Ever?

Look he's human but should know that this sport is under the microscope and talking to the reporter after the fact was career suicide.

If this doesn't make national headlines then he's the luckiest bastard on the face of the earth. The horse-kids comparison is media gold.

I was less than impressed with Asher's response as well.

Not I. He was probably hungry.

Meanest trainer ever? Chuck Simon...but only because he's a Knicks fan. I'd be miserable too.

He is fortunate that he made that statement at the end of the week when reporters are otherwise preoccupied with Charlie Rangel, Mel Gibson, Lindsey Lohan, BP, Kagan, and NFL training camps. If he had said that crap during Derby week, he would have become the poster boy for animal abuse in the public eye. He needs to shut his mouth and lay low until this episode blows over, and hope his owners understand.

This brings up a point that I do think tracks have a responsibility to step in more than they do. I witnessed the most terrible accident at a track this summer at Colonial and what angered me the most was that it was by negligence of the trainer that the horse is now dead and many people were witness to something I hope I never see again. This of course, was swept under the carpet as an unfortunate accident, but I think it was someone's responsibility to investigate why a trainer's horses were always underweight and clearly not schooled. I consider myself one of the strongest fans of racing out there, but even I had to step away that day because of this incident.
