No it's not.

I wish there was a way I could buy a bottle of tard repellent to spray on myself and make you go away.

obviously one of these 23 was a sacrifical lamb as well (i'm sure there were a few others but don't know all the runners)- keyed entry if i remember correctly - so sometimes hisotrical data just needs to be explained so that everyone can get a complete picture

just throwing out 0 fers when some of the horses entered were entered for a specific reason (in the above case being a rabbit) doesn't help the folks to get the whole picture

another one of the 0 for 23's was a horse who ran 2nd to a horse that was "a lock " for the derby accoridng to some here, but maybe just maybe the chief or jimmy might have moved bluegrass cat up eneough to not have made that winenr a "lock" - whose to know

I only mentioned that stat to try and annoy you.

I don't think it means much obviously.
