That's the line that people use to defend a horse against opinions that they know are correct....but wish weren't. It's just like telling people that have reservations about synthetic surfaces that they don't care about the horses. It's a smokescreen.....and a lame one at that.

Funny, I would have thought that someone who recognized true talent like yourself, being that you named yourself after the magnificent Theatrical, would understand real talent when they saw it. I guess I was wrong. Theatrical would be disappointed.
You ARE wrong ... The line " I could find a place for him in my barn " is neither a defense or a comment on ultimate talent ... It is sort of analogous to the line " I wouldn't kick him/her out of bed " .... The implication accomodates " good enough " at best, never sublime ... And I thought you knew that ... Rest assured, Theatrical's screen name will NOT be changed to English Channel ...
