It's all about Vic always...so because she runs at Oaklawn, she's generational.

I took DrugS seriously after Rachel won the Martha Washington and he told me she was special, Vic not so much after the Honeybee.

DrugS opinion > Vic's opinion

Having said that, I'd love for her to be that good. Nothing better than when Lukas has a really good one, because you know at the least we will get to see her run.

It would be great and don't underestimate the NBC drivel that we will be treated too

There's something really wrong when horses like Secret Oath are referred to as a generational talent unless it's tongue in cheek. At this point she's a promising 3YO beating up on horribly overmatched horses, even more so than Songbird, who at least was a brilliant 2YO that never really progressed significantly but was still good enough to beat most of the horses she faced.

This has been an incredibly uninspiring crop of 3YO fillies, save Echo Zulu, so it's great to see someone else come along, but a little rational perspective wouldn't hurt.

I'm rational. Well at least I think I am. I believe she's that good. Chances are I'm wrong. But I have been right before. We'll see. Should be fun.

Songbird never progressed ? You forget that she blew the competition away in front your own eyes that summer at Saratoga ?

Would it be rational to say that generational is still possible?

I think generational is still in play. Thoughts?

Stop. She's a really nice horse. Let her be a really nice horse without making it all about you.

I see Vic is pandering on Twitter about the generational nonsense too.

Get some help man. Seriously.

I asked what you thought of the horse. YOU are the one that ALWAYS makes it about me.

Let's try this again. Is generational still in play?

A horse wins the KY Oaks with a 94 Beyer and she's a generational talent.

Vic, stop trolling....and don't pretend you aren't.

HOW IN THE HELL AM I TROLLING when I asked for your opinion?

Earlier I said I thought she was very special.

You said you didn't think so.

Based on today's effort I wondered if your opinion had changed.

I respect your opinion.

You and your man crush are guilty of what you constantly accuse me of.

Let's FOR THE FINAL FREAKIN TIME try this again.

Do you think generational is still in play?

OMG OMG OMG am I sick of you two clowns.

You did it. You did what you ALWAYS do. You wore me down.

I tried to treat you both with the respect of talking about horses.

You just can't do it. PATHETIC.

See you in another year when I try again.

Enjoy each other!!!!!!
