Why did CB feel he had to seek justice - was it going to change anything other than to get his butt in a peck of trouble?

But, my stats on his races both BC days speaks volumes for how much of a decline this guy is in. He can't even handle Churchill anymore, and he doesn't seem to be cutting it anywhere else either.

Oh, yeah, just sayin'...

Yeah you are so right. I'm sure Rene Douglass is fine with the 30 days they gave Theriot for the number he pulled.
We aren't talking about bruises and cuts here, we are talking about life and death.
