Otherwise, what we have been treated to is some paranoid ramblings about American Pharaoh's vulnerability to internet criticism, a rather oddly placed attack on D. Wayne Lukas (as if any number of other trainers, including American Pharoah's, couldn't be cast in the same light), and Freddy's weird appropriation of American Pharaoh for his beloved Phipps stable (sorry, dude, I know hopes were high with Orb).
Sadly, the only thing remotely related to actual events in horse racing in either thread is whether Materiality can rate or not.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how my comment about ridiculous comments being thrown around about AP are paranoid ramblings.
My comments about Lukas were perfectly timed, as I was responding to that Somerset character refuting his/her belief that Lukas is a great trainer. They had nothing to do with AP at all. Did you miss the previous few posts about how great Lukas is, put forth by Somerset and Sightseek (mostly the former)??
I can't really be certain what Freddy's comments were about, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't appropriating AP for the Phipps stable. I believe he was just trying to say that if AP was a Phipps horse, he'd be getting a lot more Internet love than he has had thus far.
You really aren't making any sense at all.
