It wasnt as though he was some bum as BWS is trying to imply.

I do like that you called me out, when I've been much nicer than several others posting about him.

With that said...

I'm fairly confident that my assessment is much closer to spot on than that one borderline unbelievable post in here that was trying to imply that a nose win over Rock Opera was going to be a springboard to a BC Turf win.

I never said he was terrible. I stand by the assertion that EVERYONE else here but you and IC is trying to say -- that he ran a huge race in the BC....but on that list, he's just not that good compared to them, you know, the original point of the thread.
