Speaking of bad predictions, I can think of a couple more. Oracle's prediction that Jump On In is better than Point Ashley is not looking too good.

Nostadamus' prediction that Bellamy Road is positively going to run soon is not looking too good either.

There are millions of predictions made here. Most wrong. No big deal to me. I don't like being called a coward. Let's just see him do it to my face. He can find me anyday he wants.

Okay. The guantlet has been thrown down. Where i come from, calling a man a coward is fighting words.

If Oracle is a man he will either:

A: apologize for his poor choice of words.

B: Face Nostradomus man to man, one on one.

Further talk is superfluous.

AGREED. 100%. And that Showing Up or Tiz Wonderful bet is on the table too. Let's see if Oracle has an balls, considering he likes telling other people they have none. I will take the horse with the balls problem over his Circular Quay anyday too.

It's a big problem in our society, no one wants to say they are wrong...It's fine to be wrong, but just accept it and move on...In the line of work I do, I have seen people devastated, because they refuse to accept they were wrong and move on and learn from it...

i can't stand when people won't own up to their mistakes. BUT, i'm not so sure making an incorrect horse selection should be included in that general mix....

i don't like being wrong, esp at work, or making a mistake, but i own it when i do....better in my mind to take the lump than try to worm out of it.
