Sometimes you guys forget that this is supposed to be a forum for open discussion, not just a place to bicker and troll. I gave my opinion on how the horse might have been possible to some, which you may not agree on, but that's the point of a discussion

He gave his opinion. I'm confident more people here agree with him than don't,

Thanks Dad.

I thought I was giving my opinion too. I even said the things you mentioned might make him attractive to complete the tri or super. But certainly not as a win candidate.

We disagree which is fine but my response certainly didn’t discourage discourse.

Problem with finding a reason to have used him in a race like the derby is you are comparing him to 19 others .. And it certainly didn't help that he came in via a scratch after most were done with the race. My friend who plays 4 days a year using my top 4 selections had him with a Secret Oath / All ticket. Good thing he didn't request my opinion before making the bet or use my Derby Top 4. Somewhere someone had a nice Cuban Sandwich All x 2 x 2 x All

I wonder if this year's result will create a Mine That Bird type phenomenon, where the longest shot on the board the next year was only 31.60-1 (Discreetly Mine), and in 2011 the longest shot was Decisive Moment at only 39.70-1.

Two years in a row and not one runner was over 40-1.
Amazing

You conveniently forget you also essentially called me out for only mentioning those points AFTER the race

I didn’t call you out. I said it’s easier after an 80-1 to come up with reasons why he won. Am I wrong? Is that not what you did?

You conveniently left out that I said the things you mentioned would possibly make him attractive underneath. Not on the win end.

My wife discourages discourse every day.
