So a jock that thinks nothing of floating his competitor significantly wide, so that he can gain an advantage, should be immune from getting it stuck up his ass when his tactics fail?

I realize most would consider this race riding and perfectly acceptable.

I'm not exactly a Borel or RA fan, so, let's say the ending was pretty sweet all around. Borel is the typical bully when he has the advantage (as are most). He can dish it out and he should be able to take it.

F u ck him. He looks real pretty when he styles but when it comes to crunch time he can't do what some of the great ones could: help their horse get to the wire.

[Thoroughbred Fan]

The bottom line is that this is a free country and people can say what they want. Losing money and drinking don't help folks act with class and dignity.

CB knows these truths and chose a public job that is open to scrutiny. He could have chosen another profession.

Stop crying a river for him.

Last I checked, Borel didn't say anything about fan treatment or comments. I'd say you are the harsh one.

And, for that matter, winning America's most prestigious race three out of four years, an unrivaled accomplishment in this country, oh - and being a half-decent guy, trumps some of your completely unsubstantiated generalities.

Another one with interpretation issues.

Borel likes to style, 'race ride', and celebrate excessively. He got it stuck up his ass yesterday. Having lost plenty of times as a result of one of those rail skimming rides of his, and having to watch him with the fist pumping and kiss blowing, YES, I got some pleasure out of watching him get run down yesterday. Never wrote anything about Borel complaining. Just about how enjoyable it was to me.

He's jut a PUNK. He doesn't add anything to a horse. He certainly can't finish, even up, with any of the better jocks in the country. He's real good at those cute moves, however.
