I have to respectfully say your wrong about horse ran the same as he usually does

even with your different subject, my answer is the same, no. Mario did not play any role in Hard Spuns bad performance because it wasn't a bad performance. It was a bad performance only in terms of the overblown expectations that existed before the race.

By any objective measure that I have looked at the performance was nearly the same as the last one.

What is it that makes you say that this is a wrong opinion? You said you don't rely on Beyers? Do you use other figures? How do you know it was a bad performance?
