Chase For Triple Crown

I hope you had a chance to hear the  comments by one of the owners of the horse California Chrome. If there is ever an example of poor sportsmanship and you want to hear poor sportsmanship try to find it on the internet some where.

Those that haven't heard it he blamed horse racing as to why his horse lost the triple crown. He thinks in order to win the triple crown your horse should have to run all three of the triple crown races.  The horse that won Saturday's Belmont this is the only race of the triple crown races that the horse had entered.

I have always amagined that when I won the lottery that I would buy a thousand acres of land and put up white fences and go in  the horse business.  I would think horses are just like human athletes that they get injured.  Some horses are slower developers than others and you run them when you think
They are  ready.

California Crome 's  owner claimed his horse was tired where a fresh horse was able to win the race.  You know one of the dramatic parts of the Belmont that the Belmont is a mile and a half which is a brutal race for horses. Just maybe the race was too far for the Crome.

I know nothing about race strategy but if I was in the second lane and the race track is shorter the closer you are to the rail why then do you run your horse as if he has the fourth position.  So the owner admits his horse is tired and now your jockey runs a poor race then why do you think your horse should win

The only time I watch horse racing is the  Triple Crown races and this year I didn't watch one of them live so I didn't care too much about any of the races.  Twenty four hour a day sports TV and radio there is plenty of time to see the  race ten times.  It also leaves plenty of opportunity to hear some one who has every excuse for losing  rant and let the world know what a poor sport he is.
