But what do I know, I'm just one of those people that doesn't do any work and looks at a race and says "WOW!"

Cobalt Blue was also taken back off a slow pace, while racing wide, against the grain of an inside-speed track. Same thing as Hard Spun in the Southwest.
I know you didn't say he was a fraud---I was just saying what I would have said---had I seen footage of the race, and had not been aware of all the details I mentioned.
As for your final sentance--like I said, we seem to view both pace handicapping and trip handicapping very differently. I didn't mean that as a put-down...but you seem to have taken it as one.
