Denis of Cork's owner: My bad

[ShadowRoll]

Just goes to show (although everyones's probably guilty of this at some time or another), never put anything out into the ether that you can't live with everyone knowing.

I have no problem with this either. I love the fact that he admitted to his mistakes. At least he was a man and blamed himself.

it was big of the guy to accept the blame, in a situation that obviously had to be a big letdown for many, but I don't buy his putting the blame on the track. if the horse can't handle that mild bit of adversity, a speed favoring track, it probably saved them from an even bigger disappointment in the derby.

earlier on the card I see a couple of route races on that day that had horses winning from 6 lengths off the pace, in another the horse came from 5th.

I remember last year it was Cobalt Blue who was supposedly brought low by the speed favoring Hawthorne strip when the reality turned out to be that Cobalt Blue was over-rated.

yeah it does favor speed, but why was DoC not even able to maintain his position in front of Atoned?

If I have a possible KY Derby horse, and I pay your hotel and airfare so we can all get together in Louisville, then I screw it up, and I write you a depressed apology - I'd hope you would have the class not to put my private note to you out in public.
