It doesnt appear to be the case. Anyone that followed the thread and wasnt just looking to be an ******* could comprehend what i typed.

Kentuckyrosesinmay asked if i had seen any of BR's races BEFORE the Wood. I said yes and none of them were earth shattering. Then i stated that the Wood was the most dominating prep i had ever seen.

They must give GED's out easy these days.

the attacks on the talent of bellamy road are ridiculous. he was one of the most talented horses in the last few years. i would equate him with terrell davis of the broncos. hall of fame talent that never got to hang around long enough.

probably because it is impossible to say he was not talented. he is often attacked based on his mediocre pedigree. if he was a storm cat nobody would question his talent. the fact that he is a FL bred also is a reason people like to knock him. talent is talent though. you can not argue with it.

For the record, i never attacked his talent. Just questioned the term "great" being assigned to him thats all. The horse is obviously very talented.

I know great when I see it. And believe me, if anyone asked me about great performances by horses, Bellamy's Travers is in the top 3. That one was one that raised goosebumps.
Of course you need a knowledge of the circumstances to understand that.

No, I mean what I said, ever.
Someday when you understand training, if you ever do, you will realize that what he did was the equivalent of a tennis player who hadnt played a match in 4 months, and had only hit balls 4 times, push the eventual winner of Wimbledon to 5 sets in the finals.
