Whatever the reason for him running for 16k is irrelevant. But Servis knew he was that good and listened to Gary West and Ben Glass anyway? Or did he not know what he had?

I don’t see the cherry picking you speak of. But I agree many people can be one sided in their criticisms.

The move up trainer stuff is an interesting discussion. I’m not sure there always has to be move up trainers, but you’re right, as bettors the best course of action we have is to adapt, or not play at all.

I guess I was trying to give the perspective of someone who also views him as an immense talent, but also giving you the reason why I (and others) will always view him as a Barry Bonds type. Someone with immense talent that had a lot of help to achieve “greatness.”
