So to the list of things that Trump doesn't know shit about, we can now add ...

thoroughbred racing.

Had Maximum Security swung that wide in any Maiden claiming race at any track in America, he would have been taken down in 5 minutes. The fact that it took longer is entirely due to other circumstances ... ie ... it was the Kentucky Freaking Derby!

And despite the almost comically uninformed babbling on the part of the orange shitgibbon, "Political Correctness" had nothing to do with the stewards' decision.

What a fucking moron.

were wrong, the upsetting of "War Of Will" ultimately pushed Country House out further as well. There is no way to know what Country House would have been able to do if the move had not been made.

The WORST thing to happen that day was when I drove past my local OT and didnt pull into make a bet, I usually put 3 or 4 long shots together on an exacta box, so I missed out on $1500 which was the $1 exacta payout.

Oh sure, you're going to make some libtard snowflake "argument" that thoroughbred horses weighing about a ton might hurt someone if they're handled incorrectly. But Donald J. Trump knows more than all of you, he's the president! He doesn't need to talk to so-called stewards who review a bunch of fake news video footage to disqualify the Kentucky (or Kentuky as it will be henceforth known, thus saith the Emperor Trump) Derby winner for the first time ever. He knows it's all a librul deep state conspiracy!
