Plus, it is not as though I am advocating things like the first time starter in the Arkansas Derby, or even every 50-1 or higher filler running in races. I think my actual point is fairly clear, unless someone is trying to cleverly attempt to put words in my mouth, and it has a lot to do with horses like Hard Spun and not no shotters like Time Squared.....who I couldn't care less about whether he is running or not. I just don't recommend betting him. Surely you have heard people at the racetrack say " that horse does not belong with these." or some such comments. Do you always take that to mean the person is against them being in the race?

I thought you were inferring he shouldnt be running, and that it was irresponsible to run him there and that it was just Derby fever. That is why I asked. I am not putting words in your mouth, if that comment was directed at me.
I agree with you and all others on this issue, he has not shot.
