Assholery

Remember when I said even though I liked the horse, I was rooting against Fierceness in the Derby because I can't stand his owner?

Um, here's a 'picture' of him he himself created and disseminated.

Umm yeah people wonder why I don't like Mike Repole... "rescues" iron horse Be Bullish only to throw him into a claiming race months later, cash in, and the horse gets claimed by David Jacobsen, who really ought to be investigated.

I'm aware of the horses he has retired after meeting several of his old charges at Old Friends, but people wonder why I was so irked over Caixa Eletronica's death. THIS. IS. WHY.

Uncle Mo should have been entered in the same race three years ago, but Pletcher and Repole were too cocky and had their heads up their asses too far to realize that their star was perfect for the Dirt Mile.
