How can you possibly say that LITF was overrated?

Not to put a damper on this fun thread, but there is so much emotion being used on the words "overrated" in this thread? Just to state the obvious, but "Ratings" are obviously opinions (including those people that voted for the eclipse). People are going to have opinions on both sides of this fence (neither right and neither wrong). I also saw some references in this thread to translating the odds (or lack thereof on Saturday) and translating those odds to how the horse is "rated". For the record LITF has a >+10% ROI (if I did my math correct) which by definition he is underrated (yes I know the argument will be that he would be overrated based on the small sample size of G1/G2 races against older horses). BTW by using this definition there should be a 500 post thread on this board describing how overrated Dubai Escapade is.

Dubai Escapade was not compared to the all time greats. Dubai escapade wasnt voted champion anything. Dubai escapade hasnt been hyped to a fraction that LITF has. Dubai Escapades connections and fans didnt invent a bunch of excuses. Dubai Escapade can still atone and i bet she will.

Would you bet LITF will win a g1 before he is done?

People have made excuses for Dubai Escapade and rightfully so. They say she didn't fire which is absolutely true. I don't know if she would have won or not if she would have fired. I don't really know the filly that well and I'm not that familiar with the fillies she was running against on Saturday.
I do know that she didn't fire though. She didn't even want to switch leads on Saturday which is unusual for her. She stayed on her left lead through much of the stretch. She did eventually switch to her right lead, but she did it much later than normal. There was clearly something bothering her.
