At the end of the day, I'm just not fond of Dunkirk given the price he's going to be, and think there are a variety of options out there that are going to pay a heck of a lot better that are potentially equally as talented as he.

There's nothing wrong with liking/disliking Dunkirk and if you believe he provides no value then I would absolutely encourage you to look elsewhere.

However, that doesn't mean you should even posit the argument that his credentials are similar to Summer Bird, who has a suck-up third in a fast-paced race to his credit.

I like both dunkirk and summer bird so I have no dawg in this fight. I dont think either will win...I think tri / super material. Obviously summer at 40-1 as a dead closer is what appeals to me.

Sounds like this "the Wizard" character is on the same page as I regarding Summer Bird. Is an "OOOOOHHHH!!" or some other such exclamation in order here, or would that be an overreaction?

If the Wizard thinks this: "The only difference between the two is that Summer Bird, will be making his fourth start in only two months when he enters the gate for the Kentucky Derby. Dunkirk's races are much better spaced out, which helps Dunkirk and hinders Summer Bird."

Then I would go "OHHHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!" if he ever agreed with me.

Ah yes, the world-beater 3yo of the year Summer Bird.
