California Chrome co-owner Steve Coburn was bitter about horses skipping the first two legs and then stealing the Belmont, calling them "cheaters" in an interview with Yahoo! Sports. Six of the past eight Belmont winners did just that.
"That's the coward's way out," he said. "It's not fair to these horses that have been in the game since day one. If you don't make enough points to get into the Kentucky Derby, you can't run in the other two races. It's all or nothing."
Coburn thought the other 10 horses ganged up on California Chrome, who was second early, dropped to fourth and then fifth before dead-heating for fourth.

Didn't every other triple crown winner have to deal with this?
That's what makes it so special, and not won for over 30 years. Have to have a special once in a generation horse that is fast, massive endurance, and can recover quickly. Chrome joins the long list of 2 and done winners, still worth a fortune in Stud fees.

As a man proud of my Italian extraction, I suggest the moniker be changed to "The Fighting Daygos" or "The Wonderful WOPs".
Completely useless trivia: When my family emigrated to this country, many Italians arrived without any immigration paperwork. At Ellis Island, these families were separated from those with documentation and had a piece of paper pinned to their shirts: WOP (With Out Papers). That little sign is currently one of our family heirlooms.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx
