Can you believe that once again, this horse that won the Derby last week isn't going to run the previous?
00:08
Like, you gotta be kidding me. Like, what? What's the point then?
00:12
Why? Why? Why? Why? Like, honestly, like, they wonder, they wonder, like, why?
00:17
They've already ruined it.
00:19
Why? Why? Like, the average Fairweather fan who only watches these three races every year,
00:28
they don't watch any other horse racing. This is the only time you have them.
00:33
And I don't care if the owner doesn't want to do it. They're going to make enough money off.
00:38
You take them to the side and say, you run the horse in the race. Let's go.
00:42
I mean, they're talking triple crown here. We want people to watch next Saturday for the Preakness.
00:48
Not anymore. Lost all those people. They ain't going to be there.
00:52
Well, I blame, what is his name, Mott? Is that his name?
00:55
Mott. Mott pulled the plug, yeah.
00:58
Mott.
00:59
I blame him.
01:00
The trainer.
01:00
Like, you know, they've ruined the triple crown. You know, it's so funny to me because they,
01:06
let's just get real here. They act like they care about these horses. Meanwhile, half of them drug them.
01:15
Like, let's get real here. Did you notice they spent less time talking about Bob Baffert at the Kentucky Derby
01:22
than they usually spend five, six hours talking about him, showing him and his pretty family and all their money?
01:28
You know why, don't you? Because they finally caught up to the fact that Bob drugs horses.
01:35
Let's stop acting like he didn't do it. He did and has been his entire career.
01:41
He's a thief and a snake, and that's all there is to it, and tell him I said so.
01:48
Bottom line, he got thrown out of the Kentucky Derby for three years for a reason, because he drugs horses.
01:54
Now, you get a winner of the Derby, and what do they do? They don't run him the next race in the Preakness.
02:02
You know what? Here's to the Preakness.
02:07
I mean, honestly, like, it's just the deadest event ever now.
02:15
I'm sure we'll talk about it here, and we'll have an X-Acto box for you, but no one gives a rat's ass
02:22
when you can't watch a horse try to win the Triple Crown. What's the point?
02:27
It really is nonsense, and I've seen all the horse people, and I'm sure, like, when you talk to either, you know,
02:34
it's me, do you know me again, or any of these guys.
02:36
No one cares.
02:37
You know, they say, well, we need to get away from this system, this schedule that was created, you know,
02:44
in the 1910s and the 1920s of two weeks and three weeks and trying to run all three of these races.
02:50
Maybe they're right about that.
02:52
You know, you want to make it every three weeks, give them a month.
02:54
You know, I saw somebody suggest today, you know, first Saturday in May, first Saturday in June,
02:59
first Saturday in July, and try to do it a month before.
03:01
So what's the problem? Do it then.
03:04
Fine. If they had to go to that, I don't mind either.
03:06
I'm sure all the purists will say, well, then it's not really the Triple Crown.
03:10
They didn't do it all in five weeks.
03:11
You know, that's all fine and good.
03:13
But put the horse in the race.
03:16
I mean, honestly, it's just nonsense.
