 That caller is a very bad guy. He's been on before and has pulled similar stunts. The suggestion that jocks "turn away after winner's circle presentations with disgust" was so ridiculously wrong that the reaction of Mig and I had to be incredulous and defensive. But when he pressed on trying to belittle the jocks and their interactions with the public, I'd had enough. The generosity of the riders, especially at Saratoga, is in fact over the top in the other direction... they'll do anything to merchandise the game to patrons. No mention was even made of the riders weekly fund-raising efforts including jock karaoke, guest bartending, basketball & softball games, chef competition, galas, etc.. And, if there are some that take pictures and go back to the room without much interplay, understand that the potential is there for some to have a language barrier to conversations with winner's circle or paddock guests. It has seemingly become an instantly memorable ATR moment with calls to put "Casey, mute this azzhole" on a tee shirt. That may be hard to resist..
