I can't believe there is an argument over who is better.....Smooth Air or Visionaire.


For what it's worth, Smooth Air is OK at 7F.

For someone who worships Beyer figures, I'd love to know what you think makes Visionaire so much better than Smooth Air.

First of, just say it, you embarrassed yourself with the " First Defence is a better horse than Commentator " line.

Since when do I worship Beyer figs? As I've said here many times, they are a small part of my handicapping and use them as a rough guide.

But mostly, when did I say that Visionaire was better than Smooth Air?

I figured you were implying that with the "I can't believe there's an argument" line, but I guess not.

I said I think FD is just as good as Commentator, if not better. He chased a loose pacesetter through wicked fractions and flattened out late. BFD. It's easier to set fast fractions than to chase them, IMO. I still think First Defence will still have a good year, and he can do other things than go to the front and hold on for dear life.

I took it as he can't believe there is an argument because they both suck.

LOL, they were just referencing that on the ESPN NBA broadcast, trying to get Breen to say it because he (as usual) wet his pants over a hard foul.

Is it April Fool's day every day in your world ?


You honestly think First Defence ran better than Commentator the other day?

It's easier to set wicked fractions then chase them?

Where in god's name do you come up with this stuff ?

It's nothing personal...anyone who thinks that FD ran a better race than Commentator deserves Idiot of the Month. If needed there can be multiple winners for May.
