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.

Hard to defend that CC ran better than Tonalist in the Belmont, by about 1.5 lengths. However, anyone saying Tonalist is a better horse than CC must be completely ignoring CC waxing Tonalist in the BCC and at a distance that is actually run in North America. You might as well say VE Day is a better horse than Tonalist if you're gonna say Tonalist is better than CC.

He had a torn up hoof.
