And they ran him in the Santa Anita derby even tho they didn't need to. They're not afraid to race.

Earlier in the week, Sherman was saying he didn't see another Eastern trip in the cards for the horse. He said he needed to get him back to where he's comfortable and was looking at the Pacific Classic and BC to close the year.

If you are going to call other connections cowards for skipping or missing the Derby and Preakness, then you should at least show up for one of the next two major dances.

As for major dances, he's danced in them. There are more, some of which are on the west coast. They live out there. It makes sense they'd run out there. Or...I guess they can send him from barn to barn like ria Antonia. Seriously, no matter what they do, there will be people complaining.

Now, if he'd just saved his ire for the complete cluster*ck that was the trains back from the track.

They won the Belmont just fine and ran in all the races, along with winning one of the other TC races

seemed like it was just an emotional reaction. his horse ran hard and tried right to the finish line. be proud of your horse and jockey. 3 races in 5 weeks, mile and a half... just was to much for him.

just because i'm insane too
i think what needs to change is that we tie all three races together as the name "triple crown" implies. it does seem strange that we only care about how many points a horse has for the derby and then totally disregard the other 2 races. by have designated horses for the triple crown it becomes more of a playoff type scenario.
what about nominating 23-25 horses that are eligible to run in any or all of the 3 races. start with 20 for he derby. there are always defections for the preakness and the next 5 can get in if they want or wait for the belmont. this would give the reserve horses rest but they also may have not run for 6 weeks so they dont get a clear fitness edge. you can still keep the weeks between them and the distances the same. and if it ends up being a 6 horse field in the belmont so be it. secretariat and affirmed didn't have big fields to beat either.

Just saw the rant for the first time. I was a fan of Coburn's up until now but he needs to get all the way the fck out of here with those sour grapes. Your horse very plainly wasn't good enough pops, suck it up and move on with your millions of dollars.
