You have that right. But this is still beneath you. You are a knowledgeable, well respected industry insider and I'm just a poster on a message board yet you constantly, for years, feel the need to attempt to make fun of or belittle me. Why is it really that important to you to try to convey to everyone how much you know and understand the game compared to how little I know or understand it? In any case, is there any chance you could, I don't know, just provide an answer to the simple question that was asked?

I treat you as I expect to be treated, as another person posting on the internet. Most people ask for numbers because they are curious. You ( who I have known on message boards for a long time, and like ) ask so you can troll and comment on them....thus, you get slightly different treatment. Hardly unfair.

Why would you be "very curious" what number a winner got in a race that, while between two races, was actually completely different? You can't really compare them.

You assume the reason I want to know the number. You assume what kind of comment I would make about it. Is it a silly assumption? Perhaps not, based on the long time we've interacted on boards, as you've said. But, it's still an assumption nonetheless. If you're right, and I comment on them and say something that you think is ridiculous, by all means, let me have it. You've never held back before. I really just was curious.

You're just mad because I beat you to the punch. Admit it:-)

The irony is that Loud Mouth was the only stakes winner of the 3 heading into Saturday...

I thought it was a really good race. A head and a nose separated the top three finishers at the wire and they all battled gamely for the last quarter-mile and the figure indicates that it was a pretty decent race.

Regardless of the figures, I don't have high hopes for Express Train, Medina Spirit, Parsimony, or Speed Pass going forward.

Loud Mouth is a solid mid-level claimer who can collect some Cal-bred stakes money (or better) on a good day since the line between a top class sprinter and his type is very narrow (at least in CA anyways).

Neither do I. If anything, it made me feel even more unsure about the quality of Life is Good.

I don't think there is much of a line anywhere between the stakes horses and lower levels anymore.
