2nd to LaL (who had no excuse) over the plastic

Those are the only G1 board hits (anyone entered in a G1 "cashes" a check)

Clearly that head beat against LaL in the Rebel was much the best this guy will ever do on dirt...And considering what was in that race now clearly makes the point that he was never a classic distance type - the Ark only reinforced that IMO although I didn't totally discount the trouble he encountered, if he had any shot at a mile and a quarter he should have showed it.

Ice Box has the only legitimate bitch coming to him in the way that race was run - he was clearly the horse to beat - WM gave NP the best opportunity - he just is not that good.

Rude,

this is as comprehensively BAD as your opinion of Battle of Hastings yesterday. It's wrong, top to bottom. Of course, when someone like you, who is able to do some cashing, figure (i.e., externally) aided though it might be, can be so dead wrong when it comes to interpreting races, then it sort of puts into perspective why the game remains crushable.

Nothing personal, of course.
