If I were face to face with Watchmaker, damn right I'd tell him that he's an idiot. And he'd tell me I'm an idiot. And we'd laugh about it. It's really nothing to get upset over.

This means nothing to u I'm sure but back in 1989 when Lukas had Houston and Open Mind, I ran into him in the paddock area at Santa Anita. He sat and talked with my friend and I for a few minutes. He told us that Houston would be coming west to run in the Santa Anita Derby and then they would point to the Kentucky Derby. I told Wayne that they were looking at the Derby with the wrong horse. I told him to his face that I thought Open Mind was the better horse and that he was making a mistake. Was that stupid of me to question a hall of fame trainer to his face about his own horses? Maybe it was, especially considering that I was 18 years old and had been following the sport all of 3 1/2 years. Did it stop me? Nope. This game is all about opinions. We all have them and we back them with our predictions and because we back them with our wagers, it gives each of us the right to have an opinion. I think Watchmaker is an idiot. U think I am one. Doesn't bother me one bit. I'll be the first to tell u that I'm an idiot for even playing this sport, as Jeff Mullins has said. At least I admit that I am one though. Would Watchmaker?
