An emotional rant yesterday, perhaps. Comparing Tonalist being allowed in the Belmont to him playing basketball against a kid in a wheelchair today, unacceptable.

He and Gwyneth Paltrow must have taken the same public speaking course.

Coburn is clearly a bitter, poor sport. No argument there. The dangerous part of his comments is the millions of knuckleheads who watch 1-3 horse races per year who tuned into last night's broadcast and said "gee, this guy has a really good point."
If Coburn had his way, the Belmont would routinely feature three horse fields. I guess he wanted a match race against Ride on Curlin and General A Rod for the Triple Crown?

I was hoping that, with the benefit of some time to reflect, Coburn would walk yesterday's statements back. Now, he's got to stop digging: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-not-apologize.

Guy is a drunk'in idiot! He was upset and felt that everyone jockeys/trainers/owners conspired to beat him. Happens all the time. Part of the game. For him to be so bitter and to make statements like that just shows how ignorant he is.

OK, I try to give people benefit of the doubt. He spoke yesterday during a moment of high emotion.
Now, he's doubling down? Dude, shut up already. Better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
