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?
Ha! I'll bet Mr. Coburn received an earful from Mrs. Coburn when the microphones and cameras weren't around.
Whatever happened to California Chrome's other owner, Perry Martin? Seems he watched the Preakness & Belmont Stakes from an undisclosed location, maintaining a safe distance from the vindictive Mr. Coburn.
