If so , can you explain yourself further here? Specifically, with the El Encino in mind. Thx.

Let me just paraphrase the whole 3-post trilogy.
Johnny said racing sucks in CA because a horse that previously ran for a first level allowance-optional claimer (and lost I might add) was able to win a Grade 2 race (one level from the top) next time out. (FYI horses don't typically run in low level races--especially in a losing effort--and then win a top level race next time out)
Ann chimed in, in all her condescending glory, with the tidbit that yes, said horse ran in the first level allowance-optional claimer, but she was not entered for the tag (of course she wasn't, she was eligible for the first condition having never won an open race of any kind).
This suggested that her runner-up effort in the race was somehow better than it would have been had she run 2nd
in the same race but with a tag attached to her name. This, and other pieces of form presented in a skewed fashion, served the underlying theme of Ann's post: That Pretty Unsual was an obvious contender in the El Encino off paper alone. A completely ludicrous suggestion, conveniently offered
after the race.
Enraged by the odious "repeat after me" and "La Canada tilde" parts of her post, I in turn layed waste to the majority of the garbage that she presented.
The end.
