Officials at the Belmont are upset at the decision by IEAH Stables, the owners of Big Brown, to accept a sponsorship from Hooters for the upcoming third leg of the triple crown. Hooters, pioneers of chicken wings, tight orange shorts, and flirting with overweight business men during their lunches in hopes of netting a bigger tip, will have their logo featured on Big Brown’s jockey for the race. The sponsorship has really ruffled the feathers of track officials whose race has been sponsored by local restaurant Cooters, purveyor of raw clams and cutoff jeans, for the past 15 years.

“I don’t want our illustrious race to be tainted by something like this Hooters business,” said Belmont Charmain Ray Hewitt, “When people watch this race, they get hungry, a hunger we want them to satisfy with a hot, wet, dripping clam from Cooters. But now, they might start thinking Hooters instead. Unsatisfied business men only get one meal per day they can eat away from their wives. We don’t want them to have to choose between Hooters and Cooters. This sponsorship is very upsetting.”
