Second strongest ever. . . behind last year's. Maybe the best. . . but only if you-know-who wins.

Privman is insufferable.

He should honestly be fired for writing something that dumb. Where is NPR?

I don't agree with him at all, but he said "one of", not the strongest.

I normally enjoy Privman's work, but I think he's way off here.

What's to enjoy? To even consider among the Top 10 fields is ludicrous.

I mentioned twice I thought he was wrong.

But normally he's pretty good IMO and he never said it was the best, which is how you portrayed it.

There is a ? after my title. People can read the article. I portrayed that writing what he wrote was idiotic which it was. :wf

It's the strongest BC Classic field
























since 2008.

iamthelurker 10-25-2010 08:32 PM

I can't think of too many years that WEREN'T stronger.

eajinabi 10-25-2010 09:12 PM

1998 was the strongest

It might be the greatest field ever to assemble in a starting gate, unless Quality Road is a late scratch again.

Its a really strong group. Not sure why everyone seems so down on it.

Who in the field has been "really strong"?

The thing is, I don't think he does know it. He's been a fan of the game for what, three years? Maybe five?

He probably does think she's a great champion, based off of his limited view of today's standards, which are low.

TFF though, he knows better and is just being his usual dick self.

The big 4.

Not at all IC. I think Z is amazing. I think she has been great the past 3 years.

Quality Road is a cross between Lemon Drop Kid and Bertrando, meaning he's tailing off and can't get the distance.

Blame in a normal year would be under-the-radar very much like previous winners Wild Again, Skywalker, and Awesome Again. And yet he's one of the "big 4".

Lookin At Lucky is about as accomplished as Louis Quatorze or Birdstone were, neither of whom were heavily backed in their respective Classics.

Pepper's Pride was never considered for the BC Classic and almost certainly would have been a longshot if she had, not a major player.
