This morning on ABC News , Steve Coburn apologized for his sore loser remarks following the loss of California Chrome at the Belmont Stakes.

Go off and think about what ‘triple’ means. I’m sure your handlers will come up with an ‘appropriate’ response sometime tomorrow.
White Americans are the new terrorists. You can’t let their horse win.
“You sound like a corporatist globalist.”
And you sound like someone who needs his diaper changed, a bottle, and a nap.
I’m not here to educate you. After all, you’re the genius name-caller who stated that my comment was idiotic without understanding the history behind horse racing and the Triple Crown.
“Triple, three races. Tonalist only ran in one. How is he qualified for the ‘triple’ crown?”
DON’T do the math.
Dude, you should’ve been a comedian...because you’re crackin’ me up.
You didn’t get your comment vetted.
What don’t you get about the word ‘triple’?

“A lot of name calling, I am reminded of Alinsky by your post.
The racing ‘elite’ just couldn’t stand that some lowly Americans using logic and scientific method could breed such a fine horse.
I heard the commentators mocking the owners, a la Alinsky, in the run up to the Preakness. Apparently you’re with them.”
“Go off and think about what ‘triple’ means. I’m sure your handlers will come up with an ‘appropriate’ response sometime tomorrow.”
hedgetrimmer, I sure hope I’m not the only one enjoying your accusations. Thanks for the laughs. Honestly, your remarks are entertaining. You even dropped the “Alinsky” brand.
Mr. Coburn, is that you?
You saw the horse running against other horses who had no stake in the game.
You saw owners who deliberately bypassed the Preakness so their horses would be ‘rested’ for the Belmont.
How is that a ‘triple’ crown competition? How many horses in that race were actually in the previous two races? How can a race be a ‘triple’ if the horses running in it, didn’t run in the previous two?
Your style is symptomatic.
Its you, not me.
Still waiting for your handler’s feedback?
I already did.
Prove I didn't.
Doubting sincerity doesn’t equal condemnation.
This owner had the opportunity for weeks of becoming the owner of horse winning the triple crown. He was probably a physical, emotional and spiritual wreck for every minute after his horse won the first leg, and doubly so after the second. And at the height of his exhaustion, two minutes plus after the the most exciting race of his life, his hopes were dashed on the rocks of reality.
I’ve watched and dealt with people that were not at their best and sometimes it is not pretty. But for the most part, it is human. He asked for forgiveness, in what ever way he did. I don’t have any real contact with him, and probably will never hear of him again. It is a fallacy of our relationship with the media to be able to judge on the worst snippet of his life. Just laugh a little and think of the poor guy on google maps in CA whose claim to fame was being an internet sensation for have the bad luck to be picking his nose at the bus stop when google maps snapped his pic and it went viral.
He may have better days to be judged by, and I would hope to be judged by my better days than my worst.

Except when I was lucky enough to catch Right Wing Professor saying the most incredibly stupid thing as a scientist that he possibly say, while arguing for the “Theory of Evolution”. I will forever remember that he claimed Epistemology was unimportant to evaluation of the theory, and it still brings a tear to my eye. LOL
I think Coburn is wll aware of how the races are independent. He’s also aware that there are owners that were gunning for him, and hid behind the independence of the races. And then after he blasted out his frustration and anger, he realized that there was no way to get that subtlety across, or prove it happened to him.
I think it did happen, and I can empathize with his being upset. But at the same time, that’s life - the bastards are always up to something, that’s why their called bastards. And as for the masses - win, and they always knew you could do it. Lose, and they hate you simply because that’s what they like to do the most.
He had the class to calm down and apologize, and I respect him for that. I don’t think he’s crazy or misguided. I think he got ganged up on, and that’s part of horseracing. He still did great with California Chrome, no matter what anyone else says.
He definitely isn’t part of the globalist elite.
Sure it does - in fact, that's exactly what it does.
To claim it doesn't is insincere, and I condemn you for it.
Too bad he apologized. The corporatist controllers would never let him race one of his horses again, if he didnt’ kowtow.

Your grandchildren sound like they were poorly raised, without manners.
