Comments on: Billy Reed on Big Brown Bummer http://stateofthecommonwealth.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/billy-reed-on-big-brown-bummer/ Politics and Culture from KY Sun, 16 Aug 2009 03:18:43 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mr X http://stateofthecommonwealth.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/billy-reed-on-big-brown-bummer/#comment-453 Mr X Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:20:33 +0000 http://stateofthecommonwealth.wordpress.com/?p=110#comment-453 Might have something to go with on the Dutrow angle (already well known among east coast players), but I really don't think anybody clicking on this story to catch some gossip on BB cares if the horse's owner has been fined for securities irregularities. A minor story to tell at the party this Saturday while watching the race, at best. Remember, the horse doesn't know who owns him or how much he is racing for at Belmont, so go ahead and cheer for him.

Yes, the <i>Courier</i> covered <a href="http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008805300410" rel="nofollow">Iavarone's suspension</a>.
