In the world according to Mike Repole, everyone involved in horse racing is a dummy.
Except him, Mike from Queens or the Commish, as some of his followers on X call him.
Stuart S. Janney III, chairman of the nonprofit Jockey Club, is clueless and tone deaf and has run the sport into the ground, Repole says.
Churchill Downs Inc., which hosts the Kentucky Derby, is cheap: The $3 million purse for America’s most famous race should be much more, and the racetrack treats Repole and other owners badly.
Forget about John Stewart, a new owner bringing fresh energy and big money into the game.
