so your stance is this....

So she ran a poor race this year. got it

she faced great horses this year and last year in her non BC races. got it

it was correct for me to overrate her going into the BC last year and not bet her. Got it.

You are interesting in your thought process.

The weak classic thing my friend is a little off base, but you don't want to hear much different. Got it?

First Dude, Haynesfield, Paddy O Prado, Etched, Musket Man, fly Down, Espoir City, Pleasant Prince.

That's weak period, end of story. Quality Road very nice horse but huge 10f questions going in. Haynesfield not much off Belmont, Musket Man never wins, First Dude never wins, Fly Down never wins. LAL was a nice 3 yr old in a bad year of 3 yr olds. There was not a heckuva lot in thsi race. The two best horses were noses apart.

i agree, a weaker classic than some. i can't believe they were calling it one of the deepest ever. but then, there's been a lot of hyperbole this year. i guess they think if you say it enough, it'll make it so. if it would generate more interest, it would be great-because it gets tiresome.

I'm sure you've raved about some of the better Classics before. Maybe I just missed that. Maybe you just can't get over the Zenyatta thing you've got going. It's a rather simplistic view.
