Does Curlin like Pro-Ride ?

I guess you must not be familiar with the phrase "as far as I am concerned" that I used to begin that sentence.
As for your "fact" and "opinion" discussion, I spend the first part of each semester trying to teach my undergrads that attempting to reduce every statement to fit into such a dichotomy is a useless - and often a counterproductive - exercise. But I assume from your tone that you know that too, and are just joking around. Fine by me.
As for the numerous ways in which the Breeders' Cup has harmed this sport, I have already made that argument in detail numerous times on this board. Others have made the case too (often better than I do) but the majority continues to side with you and support the Breeders' Cup. Cool. I doubt if we'll be able to change your mind, and I seriously doubt if you'll be able to change my mind, so - as I said before - I don't really see the point in having this same discussion again about an issue that is already settled for all practical purposes.
