Quote Of The Day



“No, I don’t. Not one little bit. There’s a right way and a wrong way. You win with class and you lose with class.”


David Carroll, trainer of Belmont Stakes (G1) runner-up Denis of Cork, when asked if he felt bad about conditioning a horse that helped spoil a Triple Crown bid. Carroll went on to explain that he was not pleased with Richard Dutrow Jr., trainer of dual classic winner Big Brown, for his disparaging comments about the three-year-olds competing against Big Brown
