KY Derby Gripe !!!!!! Who cares if he's...............

[Hotpizza]

Why is it that everything needs to turn into a race thing. Do you think that once a year, daily, hardcore or dengerate bettors/fans care that Carmouche was the first black jockey in the KY Derby in x years.

Who the fuck cares? Race baiters and people with an agenda do however.

We have jockeys from all over the world, no one cares where they are from and what nationality they are.

So why does race have to come into it.

FUCK NBC !!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps they'll have breaking news that a white player started for Brooklyn. I don't even think Brooklyn has a white guy on their roster.

Just keeps getting old is all, enough is enough.

 

[REDEYE]

You can't get away from this shit right now..

 

[azbob]

At least that has something to do with the race. How about fashion reviews and olympic promotions? Last year, NBC went off the air without posting the payouts. We can all be thankful that Bob Costas didn't show up.

An incredible amount of jockeys are from Erath Louisiana and surrounding area. Two notables are Shane Sellers and Randy Romero.
They start them young down there 11 and 12 years old putting them up on horses that run match races at little fairs or just in an open field on a farm where the good old boys get together to run their horses against each other.
Two other jocks not from Erath but from Louisiana were Mark Guidry and Wayne Catalano. Louisiana has produced an amazing number of jockeys and trainers in the Thoroughbred racing industry.

Hell, to us northerners from the city that cajun country down there in Louisiana is like a whole nother world. You ever meet someone with a thick cajun accent they are very hard to understand. Chop, you got a thick cajun accent???

Derby broadcast probably didn't mention the "fog race" that Sylvester Carmouche was involved in who i believe is Kenneth Carmouche father.

Jockey Faces Felony Charge : Racing: Sylvester Carmouche, accused of hiding his horse in fog during a one-mile race, also was suspended by the Louisiana track.

[FONT=var(--body-font)]The phantom fog jockey of the Delta Downs race track, accused of hiding his horse in a fog bank and then rushing to victory, has been charged with felony theft by fraud and suspended for the rest of the track’s season.
Sylvester Carmouche, 31, was taken into custody Thursday by the State Police criminal investigative division and taken to Lafayette. He was freed after posting $1,500 bond.
The case is expected to be reviewed by the State Racing Commission, which could hand down stiffer sanctions against Carmouche.
Carmouche’s suspension will continue until April 1, when the track’s meeting ends.

The jockey is accused of using heavy fog to hide his horse, Landing Officer, near the top of the stretch for a mile-long race Jan. 11. It is believed that the jockey remained at that point as eight other horses in the race circled the track, then joined the race as the field approached the final turn.
In one-mile races at Delta Downs, horses start out of a straightaway, pass the grandstand, circle the track once and then finish with a second pass of the grandstand.
Landing Officer won the race by 24 lengths but later was disqualified because stewards and track officials suspected that the horse had not run the entire race.
“It was the unanimous opinion of the stewards that jockey Sylvester Carmouche did not pass by the grandstand the first time,” associate steward Frank Mancha said.









“It was pretty foggy,” he said.
The victory was so suspect that neither the purse nor wagers were immediately paid out, Mancha said.
“The investigation is still going on,” Delta Downs President and General Manager Lee Berwick said Thursday. “That’s why we can’t release the (race video) tape at this time. The State Police have it as evidence.”
Carmouche attorney Kent Schaffer said the jockey will immediately appeal his suspension. Schaffer also expressed doubts about the race videotape.

If you want a color blind society, you have to stop separating us by color (or race or sex or religion)

It's not rocket science either

 

[KennyB]

I am sure everyone agrees that they want to see the best jockeys riding the best horses regardless of skin color but these cocksucking liberals have to make it an issue.

Chop , were you considering being a jockey at one point ?

That's crazy. The jockey deserved to be permanently banned from ever working in the horse racing industry again.

 

[Dr.Love]

Chop is Lollipop Guild-ish?

The Rosy Ruiz of horseracing.

haha

The schemes people come up with. Probably waited for years to get the right blinding fog.

 

[azbob]

Not sure how many of you watch Fox 1/2, but their horseracing coverage is outstanding. It is 100% focused on the horses, the races and educating the viewers. In addition, unlike any other sport I can think of, the women on the show actually know the sport and are passionate about it. No idea why this can't be the case with other "analysts" and sideline reporters who are there to balance the male/female ratio and look pretty. The few people on the NBC telecast who do know racing have to compete with the empty suits who pay attention three times per year.

Hell, to us northerners from the city that cajun country down there in Louisiana is like a whole nother world. You ever meet someone with a thick cajun accent they are very hard to understand. Chop, you got a thick cajun accent???

There are people with a heavy Cajun accent where I live .
I am not one of those .
I have no accent at all.
