Dortmund: Can He Be Stopped?

[blackthroatedwind]

You had a bad opinion about CA Chrome. I have lots of specifically bad opinions. Admitting them, trying to figure out why you were wrong, and not dreaming up bs excuses, is a good path to take.

I am perfectly fine in admitting my mistakes.

My mistake with the Belmont was in not foreseeing him ripping up his hoof coming out of the gate.

IMO, a very bad opinion is one that sees Tonalist as a better racehorse than California Chrome.

You don't bet, right?

Not anymore, correct.

Which, of course, invalidates everything I say.

Because, without betting, I have no brain.

One could go the other way though and say I'm less likely to be biased because I don't have money riding on my opinions.

Whether or not you have a functioning brain is debatable given your posts here, but forgetting that, you make comments to suit a poor argument. Whether or not Tonalist is a better horse than CA Chrome is also open to debate, what is not open to debate is that he ran a much better race in the Belmont Stakes. Good opinions for those of us that bet are about having them at the right time, whether or not one horse is ultimately "better" than another.

I wish you bet...but you don't.

I'm glad we at least agree that Chrome ran the better race in the Belmont (relative to Tonalist).

Hate to lose this precious gem of stupidity.
