FOR THOSE WHO SIDED WITH STEVE COBURN

[NY BRED]

Delmar was trying to get CC to appear on Pacific Classic Day.

Here's the response from one of the a*&hole owners of DAP.


It costs money to ship him; it’s a day off from the horse’s training and other things that affect the horse,” Martin said. “We bought the horse to race him, not parade him. Yuba City (where Martin is from) wants to do the same thing, parade him up here. We don’t own the horse to parade him. He’s a racehorse.”

Perry Martin is one of the DAP partners, all of sudden appears making this
statement instead of Steve Coburn, who will ultimately enter The
Racing Hall of Shame for thoroughbred Owners.

So much for America's horse ;hold up Delmar for 50k to ship and
insure the horse? If the horse was insured early on, he is covered
for the policy year! Aside from being an owner, I'm also an Insurance
Broker, so this is pure B.S. Losing a day from training is a monumental
issue??????
At the end of the day, this crew figures there will probably be a bigger
attendance with CC appearing at Delmar, so they too should profit.

Just about 3,000,000 banked with this horse and 50k is a deal breaker.

Said story for a fairy tale horse tainted by his owners.

Hopefully the emergence of certain rising stars will overshadow
CC.

not that I care much for these owners, but I can certainly understand not wanting to parade the horse. how many other top horses in active training are making appearances? none that I know of.

I think race fans may just be a bit sour on CC because of the owner's boorish behavior.
If one has bad thoughts, 'tis better to keep them to one's self.

Not only would there be no point in parading CC on Pacific Classic day, but Shared Belief may well be pointed towards the Pacific Classic.

Parading.

I have no problem with the owners not wanting to parade the horse. When CC shows up to run, people can come and see him at what matters-- racing.

I can't complain since I just fed Chrome cookies on Tuesday.

What the above commenters wrote is right. He shouldn't be parading as an active horse if he's back at the racetrack. Prepare for the next race.

There have been very few 2-leg winners I would walk 50 feet to watch "parade." CC is not on the list. In fact, were I playing Del Mar that afternoon, I'd pay them to NOT parade him and just get on with the action.

But, then again, thanksgiving morning bores me to tears.

if they had a West Virginia Bred that happened to be in that spot and they were parading him in Charlietown and The Mountain, you would be buying binoculars to make sure you didn't miss anything.

And if a cow was jumping over a moon made of green cheese I'd have those binoculars ready, too.

I have no problem with the owners doing what they are doing either.
They once again though showed a lack of class in how they responded to turning down the request.

[Rex Phinney]

I don't have a problem with the track wanting him there, I also don't see a problem with the owners turning it down.

The real moronic part of this is that it ended up in the papers. It's a bad look for all involved, discuss all this behind closed doors and keep moving.

One upside to the article is they might be shooting down the race at Los Al, that's a good move, he needs to prep for the BC at Santa Anita.

And FWIW Coburn is minority owner, Martin owns 66%.

I went to see him Yesterday, where do you live?

Near the Bay Area. Around Livermore/Pleasanton/Dublin area.

How was the visit? See, he is the people's horse!

Not unless he was one of the 50 or so eclipse winners you claim to have owned, bought or sold.

I think the best thing for them to have said was simply...Thank You ! We
are honored to be invited to parade him but it wouldn't be a good idea to
change anything in his schedule at this time .
