I didn't mean to make this a place for you to spew bad opinions - i.e. that Paddy isn't good.

He is OK at best, beating shitty horses. Who is the best horse Paddy has defeated? Interactif? How did he run a few days ago?

I just had one of those "Hey Kent maybe you could keep riding cause here comes Ice B... oh too late" moments.

I'm looking forward to the two year old turf races.

I don't think either the place or show horses in the Secretariat are all that "shitty."

They're not and Workin for Hops came back to run a nice race on Saturday losing to a horse that one of the "shitty" horses Paddy beat had previously beaten.

Having a conversation about whether Paddy O' Prado is a good horse and whether he's a Breeders' Cup Turf horse are somewhat mutually exclusive. He might be the best American turf horse heading into the BC and might get completely decimated given the relative lack of quality in this country in that division.

Decimated means " to reduce by 10%. "

Would obliterated capture it better?

Maybe his Beyer might be decimated.

If you pretended to not know what 'crossed the rubicon' meant - how can you be such a stickler with decimated.

Decimated sounds violent. It's a good sounding word in my book.

For what it's worth, the obsolete definition of decimated is to reduce by 10%. The first result when you look is: to destroy a great number or proportion of.
