No problem disagreeing about which race she is better suited for, you have made your points and I've made mine, so stop adding unnecessary foolishness that only detracts from your opinion. We can agree to disagree about which race she is better suited for and I do not necessarily disagree that she will be up against it in this year's mile. Are you sure, however, that you want to stand by the opinion that she will lose the Galaxy? Come on.
As for Commentator, THAT is a rooting " opinion ". I love Commentator and Nick is a very good friend so I am simply going with my heart. I do feel on his good days that he is as good a horse as there is in the world but I also recognize that he has had more than his share of injuries and they may have taken their toll. I also realize that his performance in the Forego was a very possible indicator that he cannot rate but being that he stumbled very badly at the start of that race I think it's wise to give him one more chance before discarding him. He is an absolute monster on his good day...and he's had more than a few of them.
As for Henny Hughes...he's a very good horse and only a fool would deny that. I also think he certainly is one of the major contendors for the BC Sprint at this point. However, winning against a four horse field and then beating a mediocre field in the King's Bishop, where his chief competitor ( Mach Ride ) stumbled horrifically at the break and then was completely shut off at the top of the stretch when attempting to rerally, does not legitimize Henny Hughes just yet to me. I am eager to see the Vosburgh, I have no idea what Commentator's status is, as Nick has been in KY and my only contact with him was to briefly congratulate him on winning the Brooklyn, but I look forward to Henny's race there regardless. No doubt he's a good horse, but, I still need to see more.
