I would not fold to a raise.

I couldn't have not check/raised that flop.

Seems like an easy bet/call. I wouldn't be too thrilled with calling a CO raise, but this pot is effing huge. I'd also probably check/raise the flop. I think going for a turn check/raise here is really risky and that UTG checks something like AJ and makes you puke too often.

I'm asking about the river play here, not the flop play.

What's with the flop play?

On the river, I would bet-call. Do you think UTG post-raised with a 9 or a 4 (and would 3-bet the turn with those hands - maybe it's T9, but that's doubtful)? If anything, it looks like an overplayed overpair.

I have no idea what CO is doing, but he doesn't get credit for a straight because he couldn't fold on the turn.

Yeah, but the flop error is larger than the potential river error.

I'm not looking for another long-winded debate over c/raising the flop. We've had enough of those threads over the years. I'm asking if I should bet out/call or check/call the river.
