Just add this to the list.

Luckily for you, I know you just post the opposite of what you know to be true just to initiate conversation.

Wasn't meant to be. But if you want a good comeback, let's try this:

Luckily for you, I know you just post the opposite of what I say just because you don't want to agree with me for fear that it would make you have to acknowledge that other people could be right sometimes.

That's a very convenient response but frankly flat out unfair and an odd cheap shot from you. While obviously I am wrong a fair share of the time, overall the advice I give here is pretty strong, and over time my opinions have proven pretty strong. I take the opposite view of people because I believe they are wrong....and they usually are when I challenge them.

As regards today's races I told people that Fairbanks and Einstein had no chance and I literally begged a poster not to bet heavily favored Wincat in the Swale. I also endorsed the winner of the Whirlaway. Please, regale us with your plethora of pre-race opinions that have come to fruition recently.

I take a stand. And I'll take my chances with my overall record. In fact, I do in a pretty big way on a daily basis.

For the record, when Zanjero wins a Grade I, I fully expect BTW will admit he was wrong about the horse.

The day he wins a Grade 1 will be a very sad day for the thoroughbred.

Ok, so let me get this right. You say that luckily for me, you know why I post what I do and that's ok. I say that luckily for you, I know why you post what you do and I'm taking a cheap shot? Classic.

Here is what you said. It is untrue...and there are plenty of examples to prove that. That is why this is a cheap shot.

I didn't take a cheap shot....I called it like I see it. I would be happy to tell you I am wrong when you produce a few examples of strong opinions you have had that came to fruition. For instance, when Indian Blessing wins the KY Derby I will bow to your greatness. In fact, I will do that when she even runs in the KY Derby.....provided she isn't eased.

Again, you return to Indian Blessing. It's not even worth mentioning that I said I think she's got NO SHOT to win it. You obviously want to keep suggesting that I said she does.

Oh Good Christ...

Luckily for him?

For the people like myself who dont get to watch races
and live handicapping all the time, I appreciate the differing
opinions that come with these posts. But now we
enter the realm of handicapping the handicappers intentions...

jeez...
