Listen to the dig he gives race tracks at the end of the press conference regarding racing partnerships. Barry is letting the country in on his a$$hole list..

Who knows? Probably couldn't get box seats for all his owners, while Repole took six boxes with two entries, scratched one and kept the seats.

There is a reason why people dont bend over backwards for the guy. I think you can figure out why...

I mean this is a guy who stood on his soapbox and declared that Team Valor would have a zero tolerance attitude towards drugs...then take a look at the list of trainers he employed AFTER that proclamation.

I'll bet they lied to him and he was shocked
