Default Classy move by Mucho Macho Man's owner

Dean Reeves, principal owner of Kentucky Derby hopeful Mucho Macho Man, presented injured jockey Eibar Coa a check for $18,000 Thursday night at Memorial East Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Fla. The sum is the equivalent to the winning rider’s share for Mucho Macho Man’s recent victory in the Grade 2 Risen Star at the Fair Grounds....

Presenting Coa with the $18,000 check was not the first magnanimous gesture by Reeves, who donated 80 mattresses to the grooms and hotwalkers whose rooms were destroyed when a section of the Gulfstream Park barn area was flooded in December of 2009.

Very nice gesture to what seems like a really good guy. It's a shame that positive stories from the sport don't get enough press. Also it's great to hear that Coa is doing better and making strides in the right direction.

WTF does this have to do with an owner taking 18k out of his pocket and hooking up a guy and his family. Dude unless you are drinking or fn around its like a banable post. Everybody knows the guy had domestic issues and frankly they are repulsive but delete the post ASAP.

Screw you. I'm glad he donated mattresses, I'm just saying I'm not helping out a wife beater, sorry that offends you.
