Chaplain Shawn

Chaplain for Ontario Thoroughbred Racing. A New Divine Decade: 2015-

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

There’s only a few days a year that there’s crowds. Probably cheaper and easier to put temp seating. This ain’t the 60’s people. Day after the Belmont you could probably shoot a gun off and hit no one.

[John Lyons🐸 @lyons_john]

@raypaulick I CANNOT BELIEVE THE GRANDSTAND IS THAT SMALL IN COMPARISON TO OVERALL TRACK SIZE

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

My goodness, what are you feeding that horse?!

[Cherie DeVaux @reredevaux]

Can we get some thoughts and prayers for me having to ride this ding dong on a crisp morning. I usually have an exercise Rider get the kinks out first set, but it’s just me and Enrique.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Great song, only 2 chords.

[Emotion & Music @Emotion78687]

They cant make music like this anymore. This is an absolute classic.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

We’re still excited that we’re televising in colour!

[Carson Wells @CarsonWells]

@raypaulick Ray, horse racing has more billionaires involved in it than any other sport. The fact we can’t even cobble together the capital to do streaming content like a non-power D1 sports conference is an indictment of those people.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

The average horse is not 1200 lbs. and definitely do not go 40lbs.

[Blaise Bollman @BlaiseLBC]

Jockeys (@keithasm7) are built different.

Balancing on inches of steel at 40 MPH while controlling 1,200 pounds of raw power… and somehow brave enough to fight back after getting shut off on the rail to win by a nose.

Some of the toughest athletes on the planet. 🏇💪

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Hmmm, quite the skin infection…

[Mike Welsch @DRFWelsch]

The Puma, scratched the a.m. of the Ky. Derby due to a skin infection that caused swelling in his pastern, has returned to Gulfstream Park to prepare for the 2nd half of his 3yo campaign to kick off in the Grade 1 Haskell on 7/18. Full details shortly at https://t.co/ZPGuOsLBpA.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Too good for TV?

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

@ToddTarson It got cancelled because ratings plummeted.
I love it, but it definitely failed, for several reasons.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

How about pay them better?!

[Anticommie @QueenAnticommie]

I agree with this! If you can’t afford a tip, stay home

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

There doesn’t have to be something wrong with a horse to not want to run them. They’re charting this horse’s career in his best interests. As someone who’s trained horses and run them back too soon, I see where they’re coming from. Successful sports today have all changed.

[Jennifer Morrison @jensblog]

@RTCCanada I am all for welfare of the horse as you know, as a founder of LongRun. Journalism ran in both, so did Seize the Grey and countless others. If there is something wrong with him, of course, don't run. I said it was terribly disappointing. As a free country, I can say that. No?

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

They are doing what’s best for the horse, Jennifer. Triple crown means nothing anymore. How can you criticize them when they put the welfare of the horse first?

[Jennifer Morrison @jensblog]

Terribly disappointing. I get not running back in 2 weeks every day, but an exception must surely be made in this circumstance. As long as horse is healthy. It is the Triple Crown!!

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Yes, this is 2026, not 1966. Never fails to surprise me when people are indignant over a trainer and owners who put their horse’s welfare above everything else.

[David Aragona @HorseToWatch]

I’m probably in the minority on this one, but I struggle to muster disappointment over Golden Tempo not going for THIS Triple Crown when the Preakness is at Laurel, the Belmont is 1-1/4M at Saratoga, and it’s probably the last time the races will ever be crammed into 5 weeks.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Four dead in O-Hi-O. America, why must you kill your own?

[USA Trump Man 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @USATRUMPMAN1]

Who knows what this picture is from ?

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Saw them as Split Enz in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Just killer show!

[🌸🎵 Beautiful Melody 🎶💖 @Ducnghia16]

Paul’s emotions every time he’s seen are palpable. Breaks my heart to think of how much pain he was in...

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Surprised at no inquiry.

[The Staggie Man @thestaggieman]

The fact that Baeza is a not a non-starter is a joke @ChurchillDowns

What are we doing here!?

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

One king, one despot ruler.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

TWO KINGS. 👑

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Amen!

[Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧 @_HenryBolton]

There cannot be a Briton alive who was not proud of our King today.

God Save The King!🇬🇧🤴

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Just another example of a classless, pedophile, rapist boor.

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

It’s like me riding against J.V.- he’d have to ride with both hands tied behind his back!

[Chaplain Shawn @RTCCanada]

Bird, the other is a rapist.

[OldTimeHardball @OleTimeHardball]

One all-time legend for the entirety of his career

Kobe Bryant or Larry Bird?
