If I were to say to you today that I think Chocolate Candy will win a Grade I some day and we fast forward 2 yrs and he never does, I definitely wouldn't say "well, look at me, he came within a length!"

You have missed the point entirely.
I'm not touting anything. I'm defending a prediction that I made and a subsequent bet at 10-1 that Zanjero would one day win a Grade I. That bet/prediction has been called "stupid" among other things. My point is that it was hardly a stupid, bold, or unreasonable thing to predict considering his near-win in a Grade I PRIOR to the bet I made. Was it ultimately incorrect? Of course. So what?
Is this really that hard to understand? (I find myself asking this question a lot here lately.)
