I said that I thought this year's TC was "one of the least...interesting TCs in recent decades." I stand by that. Look at last year for example. It was a lot more interesting than watching the mules this year run around the track.
If you somehow found this more interesting than many of the other years, hey, that's cool with me. Personally I enjoy watching stakes races with at least a few decent horses entered. We didn't have that this year.
Did it manage to generate a lot of threads on a Horse Racing message board? Well I should certainly hope so. But I might suggest to you that I'm not sure that is the best way to judge something like this. Especially since 90% of the TC threads were useless garbage started by posters who only pay attention to the sport for 5 weeks a year. Now, there certainly isn't anything wrong with fans like that, but don't tell me that just because they're starting a bunch of threads, that means this year was more interesting than year's past.

I guess I just misunderstood what you meant. I enjoyed it. I don't use any particular year as the Gold Standard. The crop was down, but, IMO there were some interesting stories along the way.
