That he is a son of Indian Charlie, yes, affects my being a bigger fan of this horse.

It in no way clouds my judgment of his abilities.

And NO! I am not saying he would have been right there at the finish. I am simply saying that he would not have finished last! How is beating a horse that lost by 30 lengths the same thing as being 'right there' at the finish???

What is so difficult to believe about that? The closest thing to crazy that I've said is that he would have been closer to the winner than to the loser, at the end of the race. And that, that's not really that far fetched.

But yet you say Zenyatta would've finished third in the juvenile? That he is a son of Indian Charlie affects your rationale...a 2yo running in the Classic...you're sounding just like the fans you rail against

I was being sarcastic in that post, sorry. I realize that sometimes that does not come through clearly in a post on the Internet.

She probably would have finished second

And obviously no 2yo is going to run in the BCC. The point I was trying to make there was in response to the Bidiots post about him being in a photo for last place with a distanced QR.
