Nothing but sour grapes and a smear. This article was a crappy hitpiece filled with innuendo.
“Curlin's owners are a large and controversial lot, a glossy group of multimillionaires with the green to chase their equine dreams”.
Really? What makes these millionaires “glossy”, and different from all other millionaires in the sport? Isn’t that what every owner in the sport does, use their green to chase equine dreams? And what is wrong with the ownership being a large group?
Jess Jackson – “could be a sorehead that doesn’t know his place”. Wow, what a stinging indictment.
Satish Sanan – “spent millions in the racing game”, OMG! How outrageous. Of all the nerve.
the original owners were lawyers who are being sued. Apparently not found guilty of anything yet but certainly since they're being sued the author feels its okay to claim they're part of some "dark cloud" hanging over Curlin.
Also Assmussen looked agitated on HBO. Well that's the last straw. How dare he look agitated while being filmed on HBO's hit-piece, oops, documentary on drugs in racing. At least he went on camera.
BS journalism if you ask me, better suited for the Enquirer. Try only to lurk around and pick holes in people that have a success.
