Okay, so I finally have a supply of beer so I feel up to perusing the Coburn’s page (not sure if there’s enough for the BCH page)…but seriously?
They have caused you so much mental anguish… case for a lawsuit right there with all the evidence right in front of everyone.
At least the Martins page (DAP) and the Shermans (CC) page are trying to keep things half way sensible.
The Coburns are playing the part of “poor hapless victims” to the hilt. And their foolish minions lap it up and slather on the sympathy. Because there always has to be a good guy and a bad guy, and the buffoonery of minority owners makes them apparently more approachable by playing to the public.
I didn’t catch screen shots yesterday, but apparently the Coburns’ grandson was over on DAP’s page trying to stir the pot with unfounded accusations. How classy sending relatives to do your dirty work for you. And trying to say that the Coburns’ page was the “true” page where people could get real information. Huh, and here I thought they had to learn everything via Facebook because their meanie ole partner won’t contact them. What a circus
“Perry Martin is responsible for the decisions made that literally broke Chrome down in every way possible.”
Right. Except the literal way.
What video is BCH referring to in the latest whackadoodle post?

This one, I think. Which is so short in of itself, you cant really make a judgement on it. He seems a little off, but not OMG ouchy (and I freely admit, I’m so paranoid about my own mare’s little idiosyncrasies, everything looks like a headbob to me)
But since the twitwaffles on BCH seem to want to slander Robbie Mills for “never petting” Chrome, we all must have been hallucinating this

One genius on the Coburn’s page is attributing Chrome’s current injury on him being stepped on in the Belmont 13 months ago. Oh, the dramatics! Chrome bravely having to run while bleeding AND in pain while dirt was infecting his foot clearly caused this. Other posters were then jumping in and reminding Whackadoodle #1 of the offending horse’s name and his jockey. They were starting to sharpen their sticks for their witch hunt…hope poor, clueless Matterhorn is somewhere under a watchful eye!
Because the latest ridiculous rant needs to be shared….
THERE ARE NOW SEVERAL UNANSWERED QUESTIONS??? Its hard to know where to start with all the bullshit going on with our beloved California Chrome. #1 Is it true, that Americas Kentucky Derby champion was in the care of Rae Guest, top trainer in England, and no one thought to have a Vet thoroughly check him out? Or did Guest suggest a vet check & and someone did 180 degrees the opposite? Did Chrome hurt himself during the horrific voyage home in a dark, loud metal box? or worse was he sent home that way, & forced to endure the entire ordeal in pain.
#2 In England, the week before he was heading home, there was a personal video someone took of Robby the rider galloping Chrome around, yet obviously Chrome was in pain, his head bobbing, we saw it in the video, why didn’t anyone at Rae Guest stables? I’ve never seen anyone get to know Chrome & not be taken in by his charming & charismatic personality. Robby the rider had no connection with Chrome! never saw a picture of him talking to or petting or comforting him. Why was Chrome made to gallop when in obvious pain? I also want to know more about the English “horse manner school” Chrome was made to attend. #3 Does California Chrome have a life insurance policy. btw none of these questions are implicating anyone. These are valid questions and I’m sure there are valid answers to all. No ones pointing their finger at anyone. Perry Martin is responsible for the decisions made that literally broke Chrome down in every way possible. And he proudly takes credit for those decisions
Someone point me to the video of Chrome “galloping” around - oh wait, there isn’t one. Robbie the exercise rider had kind things to say about CC and actually GASP did pet & stroke him, as we have seen. This BCH twit who will not even post this nonsense under his/her own name is still pissed about the “dark, loud metal box” that Chrome and every other horse that travels by air internationally is shipped in. WTH is this gibberish about a “horse manner school”? There are far too many clueless dingbats on FB who hang on every word this idiot posts as if it is the absolute truth… despite repeated evidence to the contrary that is presented to them…
And yeah, having that injury ever since the Belmont must be the reason he ran a good race in Dubai - but was “only” second… unbelievable. And in that case it would be their beloved Art Sherman who missed that injury… has no one pointed that out to these brainiacs?
Matterhorn better beware of crazies lurking in the bushes… CC could have just as easily grabbed himself that way - and who would the crazies blame then??
[QUOTE=smoofox;8227725]
It does not take much to get blocked there. Simply state common sense/horse sense - and that will do it. The crazies can spew whatever nonsense they want, however. Such as fretting about CC being a steeplechaser in cruel nasty England, or being shipped in a cruel crate and not first class as America’s Horse deserves. Or fretting about lip chains as they KNOW he does not need one and is an angel… or that he needs to go back to Harris Farm to eat Skittles and poop rainbows for the rest of his life - because he is THEIR horse. They occasionally suggest pooling money to buy out Martin or send CC to Los Al or whatever. I also got blocked from Coburns page for suggesting that they be more professional, not fan the crazy flames (which they foolishly love to do) - and hinting that the BCH page was either run by them or a close friend… my bad.
Maybe they should send him up here to Pegasus in WA for rehab - it is good enough for Shared Belief. Harder for psychotic crazies to get info that way…
ETA: Oh for God’s sake… some of the new comments at BCH are beyond bizarre… this is re sending CC to Taylor Made…
I firmly believe they Coburns are going to completely buy CC. They are looking for another investor. CC IS TOO valuable to end up at some slaughter house . I won’t even think about it. God will make things right. Too many people in the horse racing industry love this horse. It will not happened. They should send Martin & Denise there to see how they get for themselves. They would put away for free!! The horse racing industry needs to get involved now. They need to oust
The poor of an excuse of an human being plus his hideous wife banned them for life and make him sell his portion of the remaining horses. He should be charged with animal cruelty!!! Never allowed to step foot on any racetrack again.!!
And again, demands that he be sent back to Harris Farm in CA…
I completely agree that he needs the emotional healing as much as he needs to heal physically. If a horse feels safe, loved and are surrounded by people who love him he will heal much faster then without. California is his ONLY home due to the fact that is where his true owners and care takers are.
Countered with some common sense that will soon get deleted and edited….
He hasn’t spent significant time there since he was very young. Home is where top class care is. Why bother moving him if he’s retiring to Kentucky anyway? It’ll be his home.

Are you the Danielle responding sanely to things over there? I saw that and wondered how there was someone making sense.
What’s with their panic about not getting “the best” vet treatment? If it is just a bone bruise, what do they think needs done? Mine bruised her coffin bone, and after diagnosis, the only “treatment” she needed was a padded shoe and stall rest. It’s not like he needs to spend 8 weeks at the Mayo clinic to treat some obscure infection or something. He needs, presumably, a few months of stall rest. So, layup farm makes a whole lotta sense, to sane folks.
Thank you all for keeping this thread going, I check it daily for updates on the cray cray. It makes for an entertaining workday break.[/QUOTE]
That’s me!
Thanks a lot guys, now I’ve been getting nothing done as I read all this and roll around in fits of laughter at the sheer hysterical stupidity of these people. :lol:
I have to say though, I don’t understand the special kind of crazy that California Chrome seems to spark. I don’t live far from Harris Farms and obviously there was a lot of media hype surrounding him before the Kentucky Derby last year. After he won, but before the Preakness, we had one of these CC zealots show up at the barn I was boarding at.
She apparently marched herself right down to Harris Farms and I think they saw her coming a mile away. She came away the proud owner of gasp California Chrome’s half-sister. Which, of course, means nothing more than that she was another horse sired by Lucky Pulpit. And never had I seen a scrawnier, sadder nag than that little thing! She was runty and brown without much white, so just about the opposite of CC, but boy was that lady tickled pink! It didn’t matter to her that she was skinny and dull or that she had a huge, nasty scar. It didn’t even matter that she had a pretty severe club foot. She was California Chrome’s half-sister by golly and she wanted everyone to know.
The BO asked about the horse when she brought her and, when she found out it was a two year old Thoroughbred filly, wanted to know if she was broke. Of course! was the answer. English and Western! Hmm.
For a while the weirdo- hem, lady- would come out when no one was around and just be odd with the horse, according to the barn hands. You know, leading her around, staring soulfully at her, typical rainbow farting nonsense stuff. Then one evening she apparently got the courage to saddle her up and get on her in the round pen. The filly promptly exploded and bucked her off. Because she wasn’t broke.
Cue terror of said filly and sudden cessation of activities with her. We’re not sure but we think she was one of those “I have a spechul connection with horsie and therefore everything will be fine” sorts. Being thrown obviously knocked some semblance of sense into her though because she approached several people about breaking the filly. One was an actual trainer and said sure, but she wasn’t willing to pay his fee. The other was just a lady that plays trainer (bunch of lunatics at that barn, which is why I left) and told her he-- no.
After the poor horse did a lot of sitting around someone from another barn came and loaded her up, hopefully to sell or at least to start her under saddle. The weirdo owner went bustling around trying to take a bunch of other people’s stuff right before she left. Strange from start to finish. 
So as someone who lives in the area I really hope they don’t send him back to Harris Farms. :lol: I’ve seen more than enough of it firsthand, though it’s funny to read about it online. I don’t think they would send him back to HF, all things considered.
Best, and most accurate, comment of the day on the BCH page:
“You people are complete lunatics, with zero grasp on reality.”
And surprisingly, it hasn’t been deleted yet.
I Just found this gem on BCH,
“I was reading an article saying that they syndicating him.
That the deal in Ky fell through. What chaos this man has caused. Who is DRF? Do they come in
& investigates things like this. I don’t know. I just read something about them.”
I just love how some people don’t have a clue about whats going on and believe everything they read on BCH. :no:

Is Brenda Hines on here? She may be my new hero. I’d like her comment on the BCH page, were I not also banned lol.
they are teetering on the edge between entertaining and restraining order.
From the crazy page;
“Guaranteed he was hurt either in England or on his trip home. No one will ever know because no one wants to take responsibility. He needs to be retired to stud and spend his life FROLICKING IN MEADOWS and entertaining mares.
We all love you Chrome your majority owner DOES NOT”
Do you suppose that these people actually think that the horse reads facebook and thus knows how much they love him, or do they think he just feels their vibes of love by somehow intercepting their thoughts from the internet?

Welcome to the club! I only made one comment and at first she liked my comment and actually agreed with me. It was about a month later that she some how figured out I was making fun of her and banned me.
Heh, that’s Bertha. She’s definitely a few flakes short of a full bale. Given her comments, I’d say she definitely doesn’t know a fetlock from a forelock and only thinks she knows about pwetty horses because she watches them on the telly.

It’s like Colburn and Martin are getting a divorce and they’re desperately trying to turn the horse against the “bad parent.” :lol:

I’ve been thinking it’s like a Thoroughbred plot line and Martin is being portrayed as Brad Townsend and Coburn is Asleigh Griffin who save her horsey with the powah of twue wuv.
:lol:
Oh for God’s sake - this has gotten really absurd… in reference to the bone bruise… I left off the real name of the person with this bizarre comment…
[I]He was sent home that way, He was sick for some time. PM is going to have him slaughtered…out of spite…just wait & see He would do the same to his wife… taylor Made farms…OMG…the nightmare has just begun…I wish he was eliminated from this scenerio.

Bring Chrome Home XXXXX tell me what you know about taylor farms?

very little but I have heard nothing good.

Apparently they cannot google? Are they really that completely clueless??!!! <<< rhetorical question
Oh for cripes sake. Those fools need to be exposed on that kind of shit. They can’t go making unfounded accusations. Priscilla comes across to me as a very redneck hick who has no frickin clue what a horse is. Period.
Hmm, wonder if the folks at Taylor Made would be interested in hearing some of the slanderous things those twitwaffles are saying about them.
Taylor Made is a fantastic place. Let’s ask American Pharoah what he thinks of it.
