The Torchie Interferes in the Preakness Day thread! | |
MissCleo User ID: 77082640 United States 05/18/2019 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Country House "developed a little bit of a cough" while at Churchill Downs. He said his champion Thoroughbred was "not seriously sick" at the time but was "coughing" and required blood testing. Quoting: Buzzcheeze As a result, the horse was removed from the Preakness. Would have made it more fun with Country House in the race no doubt. Horse Racing has always been a shady business. Lots of trainers who abuse animals. Lots of trainers in debt. Owners don't always see what goes on behind the scenes. Wondering if the 4 front runners in the Derby are being withheld for safety reasons? |

Eggcellently Deplorable Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 77479757 United States 05/18/2019 12:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Torchie, in the video of Secretariat winning, he starts on the outside and is last, moves his way up, and by the end of the race he's on the rail. Isn't that the same thing that they were all meeping about with the Derby? That the horse that won "didn't stay in his lane"? So they disqualified him? I always thought that was the whole point, to try to get to the rail because it was shorter. "I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12 |
