re: So Cali Chrome's Jacka$$ owner just tarnished the entire story with his reaction

Didn't fully realize the breakdown of the finishers and his point of contention:
California Chrome was the only horse in the Top 6 finisher of the Belmont to run the Preakness and, of the Top 3 finishers in the Belmont, only Medal Count ran the Derby.
But that's the way it is...and probably (along with modern breeding) is why we will never see another TC winner with the races so close together.
I think his rant at least helped explain the situation to the casual fan who maybe didn't know this. I doubt he really cares if he came off bad...he just lost immortality.

his horse wasn't close to winning, and got a lucky dead heat for 4th.
other owners have lost it in final jumps, with the lead. They didnt cry like a pansy, they moved on.

The Triple Crown can be contested over 7 weeks and have been for a very long time; it is supposed to be extremely difficult. That is why only great horses do it. I do agree that breeding is part of the issue, but breeders are now getting away from the Northern Dancer/Raise a Native line. This breeding trend needed to happen, because we were breeding a lot of unsound horses.
