And indeed, if one offers an opinion that is so weak that you're unwilling to explain the basis or provide it a thorough defense ... why even bother sharing? It's clutter.

I'm one of those that included Lines Of Battle and don't mind sharing a few reasons. He's just curious to me......more because of what we don't know than what we do know. He's certainly not a 'win' candidate in my book but a top 5 finish would not surprise me. Nice breeding, appears to have some stamina, looked ok in the UAE Derby and a top flight jockey. I realize all the negatives associated with coming over here from Dubai but that the fact is that 10 of the 20 horses in the Ky Derby will be staggering down the stretch. The endless comments of "I guess he didn't want the distance" or "I guess he didn't like the track" will be espoused after the race. I do believe this horse will be finishing and if he does take to the dirt could be a possibility. Doubtful that he'll be on any of my multi-race wagers but is he a superfecta candidate?...........Sure, why not? Just enough mystery around this guy to be interesting.
