Haters is a really inappropriate word for this sort of thing, but really, there really are more people on DT saying he can't or won't win than there are saying he's a lock.

And I don't really understand the problem people have with someone having an opinion that a horse is a lock.

How and why does that offend people's common sense? I don't get it.

On the flip side of your comment that the AP detractors sound more like handicappers than haters, what's that mean about people that think AP is a lock? Mindless fans?

Your posts on this topic could easily be construed as superior, smug and insulting.

I don't get easily offended by people who have different opinions than mine (which are right!).

But there is room in your remarks for people to see them as a little condescending.
