It is stuff like this, that is like hearing nails on the chalkboard....and drives me into a hysteria of long-winded posts.
I don't agree with that at all...however, my views of what "perfect trips" and "bad trips" are....they are very much different than those of other people.
Afleet Alex had several bad trips in his career. While I'm glad he lost the BC Juvie for personal financial reasons....he was MUCH the best, and only lost due to the horrible trip he had. He also lost two other major races, where he arguably ran the best race from a trip standpoint.
