Kiaran McLaughlin, who did train briefly for Irwin and Team Valor, was offended by the remark. "I can promise you and anyone else that I never lied to Barry Irwin," McLaughlin said Monday morning at Belmont Park. "And I don’t appreciate that comment for our whole industry, all the trainers that have trained for him – I don’t feel so bad because it’s a large group and obviously we’re not all liars. “It took away from the day and the sport and it was uncalled for,” McLaughlin said. “I was very happy for Graham Motion and Johnny Velazquez.”
Hats off to Kiaran.

Irwin has always done a good job for his partners. They manage their horses correctly and do a pretty good job picking up nice horses at reasonable prices. There's a reason a group like Team Valor is so successful, it starts w BI. Like or hate the guy he gives his people a good bang for their buck. As a partnership goes they are probably top of the foodchain.

He may come accross like a knowitall, but he's probably seen it all, and I'm sure he's speaking from experience.

No one is denying that Irwin does a good job. But humble or likable he is not.

Hey IC!

My older sister is moving to Maine. She's the "fuller-figured" member of the family -- want me to hook you up?!?

I hope you're tall though, she's 6 feet tall.

lol.

DrugS exaggerates. The person is what is important to me. Though, I gotta say, I do like tall chicks.

Why is she moving to Maine, and where? If you ever go visit her, let me know. Believe it or not, Maine is a great state for foodies.

Work, Southern Maine. The only person I know who has lived in more states than me!

The coastline is probably much better than down here too.

I'm a believer. I have several friends in Maine, from Rockland to Waterville to Bangor. I visit Maine whenever I can, which isn't often enough. I would spend my summers there if I didn't have to work. I Maine.

There's a restaurant in Portland called Duck Fat that has pretty much the best brunch north of New York City in the states.
