Steve Byk: "...in the meantime, before we do that, let me welcome in Seth Merrow."

Seth Merrow: "I...I'm scared."

I thought Steve was going to jump out of my computer. dayum.

It's all opinions. Davidowitz said, “There’s a very unusual dimension to her, and there are to all great horses. They have something different.” He said that he knows that many will disagree with him, and that that's fine. He's just telling what he sees, and why not? It's what he gets paid to do. He also said that Z is, “the best older racemare I have ever seen.” Again, it's his opinion.

Sidebar: There's a lot of talk about trying to bring people back to horseracing, or introduce new people to the sport. Many experienced players seem to worry a lot that newcomers are going to think that Z is perhaps better than she is. Yes, a lot of newbies are going to believe that Z is the greatest horse, whether or not she is. But, people seek out greatness, and if they're new to the sport then maybe she is the greatest horse that they've ever seen. And yeah, maybe you can come back at them with 100 reasons why they're wrong, and if you do, what have you accomplished if you beat them over the head with it?
