Interesting. If you dislike someone who comes off as a pompous douche, you're envious of them. Anyone catch the comments he made in regards to Zito and the Florida Derby? Douchebag move.

And maybe I missed something, but the trainer is still Pletcher. Did he become beloved all of the sudden and I missed it? Wasn't there a thread just last week (after his horses ran like energizer bunnies at Gulfstream all weekend) about him?

He has a history of running his mouth and saying dumb things because he can't say no to the camera. He did the same thing last year before the Hopeful with his line about how he was confident that Stay Thirsty would be much better than Boys at Tosconova in 2011.

If it's bringing you some satisfaction that Uncle Mo lost yesterday you're probably not envious, a miserable person, or someone who hates Indian Charlie.

Once again, I posted that as a general comment in response to some people asking why this guy is not liked. It wasn't necessarily aimed at you.

I posted this after I researched and read up on the guy. I couldn't find anything negative about him. Therefore, the only thing I could come up with is envy. There are many out there that are pissed at their own lives, so they try to make themselves feel better by cutting others down.

It wasn't aimed at me, but you told me if the shoe fits. Whatever, own it if you're going to insult me.

I wanted him to win. I needed him for a bet (not paying much but better than ripping it up) and he seemed like a really good one, in an era with so few of them. I wasn't happy at all he lost.

But it doesn't make his human connections easy to root for and it has nothing to do with envy.

Yes, I did catch those comments....and when I mentioned it here on this board i was called "stupid" by some of the "smart" people on this board. i'm just happy i wasn't one of the "smart" ones who wagered $466,788 to win on mo because the pick 3 that i played paid very nicely!

I am envious of Richard Burch and his redboarding skills.
