Actually, I don't even think Stevens said it...it was the host or co-host...Who is the guy that has the Vegas horse racing show...Shiraca, or something?

BTW, not everybody has to agree with my analysis or even like it the least bit....that is why there are several of us.....CDI pays me for it so as long as they believe their customers enjoy it then that is all that really matters. I'm sorry you feel as though I am subpar - although you don't even know me and we have never had a candid conversation...that is like saying that Orman is a no count with out me even knowing the guy, and I wouldn't ever state something like that....[/quote]
Thats very fair and true. But I think the folks listening to your analysis before the Quay race where you selected Alex may have been done a disservice. ANyone who saw Quay's debut knew he was the goods.

I'm confused, and with the screwed up quotes I am not certain who said what, but are you implying because Joel picked a loser he did someone a disservice?

That would be incredible if you really said that unless, of course, you have never given anyone a loser.

I was busting his balls, look at the topic of the thread, its a little ironic. Ah, my humor isn't gotten by everyone.

It's not easy being misunderstood.

Never said Quay couldn't win, I simply said that he has a router's pedigree and did not have to win the Bashford Manor - a 6 furlong event - from the far outside post at low odds....that is all I said....Additionally, I still think that Run Alex Run could turn the tables on Circular Quay if they SPRINT against each other again and I still believe that....Circular Quay got a beautiful set up with the heated early pace pressure with many top contenders battling it out, whilw Alex was hung wide and I think McKee made a mistake by letting him fall well off the pace after contesting the first quarter and not even saving ground in the process...the damage was done..he contested th efirst quarter so why not hold your position?...Why lose ground and try to rerally with a 2yo after taking him back? I think McKee put the horse through too much and I still believe that he will prove out to be the best SPRINTER out of that field when it is all said and done....

...Circular Quay will go a lot further, but the Bashford Manor was a sprint event, so I thought he could be vulnerable...thats all...he got a great set up and RAR did not and I believe that may have been the differnce (on top of the fact that Fires isn't going to consistently get good efforts out of any horse, lets face it)...Pletcher vs. Fires..I'll take Pletcher, but that doesn't mean that RAR isn't as good of a horse as Circular Quay....time will tell

Joel I was busting your balls, I realize that Alex was the only logical alternative.
