What?! You want me to find examples of horse owners who express dismay and blame various causes or people for their horses’ loss?! How petty. How many horse owners have come within meters of a triple crown with their prized beast? One of them has sour grapes and you think this is beyond human example or emotion? How ignorant. Maybe there is a snobbiness that attends to horse racing the rest of the world does not care to indulge.

It's not snobbiness. It's good sportsmanship and class. Trashing one's opposition is generally in poor taste in any sport; proving one's team or horse is better is BEST done by winning, which speaks for itself. Trash talk is for trashy people.
