Coburn slams Churchill

[ateamstupid]

Coburn may be a bit curmudgeonly, but he and Art Sherman are both very real and easy to root for.

I about flipped when he hammered CD..........went out of his way to do it also. Has to be more to that story.............(which I read) it's like comparing Augusta to a local muni.....classic comments!

Go Chrome!!

I wholeheartedly agree!

Earlier, in a pre-race interview he said that he had "pissed off some people back in Kentucky." Any idea what that meant? Pissed them off because he came to Kentucky and won, or because he complained about Churchill while still in KY?

Classic non-story. Churchill response was both cordial and dismissive. Next year and years beyond, CD will have 160,000+ Derby attendees, more than 20 horses vying for Kentucky Derby start, and, unless California Chrome wins Triple Crown, no one will remember Coburn and his comments.

Even if CC wins the triple crown few people will remember this. Churchill has the bully stick, no horse owner will pass up the Derby to teach CDI a lesson.

Classic non-story? WHAT???? And you admitted Churchill response was "dismissive!!!!" What happens in the future is irrelevant. This was a BIG story and was played like a big story.
