I just don't care enough anymore to get into multi-page arguments.

I'll echo what miraja said and add that I've seen too many miserable favorites in important handicap races this year to discount the top three fillies/mares.

You remind me of a younger version of Gandhi right now. Very cool.

The one thing about Blind Luck that I think is interesting is that in none of her recent races has she faced a really fast or strong pace. The only time in her most recent starts where she saw a half faster than 47-flat was at SA on the speedway.

I think she would have at least threatened 4th or 5th in the last year's BC Classic given how that race shook-out.

I was probably in the minority at the time - just because she had bad recent form on paper over the track (with legit excuses) - but after watching the SA Handicap I was confident she would have won that race if entered.

Did you hang out with the older version of Gandhi much?

No but as someone who's best friend is Indian, I always wonder how Indians felt that the most important person from your country was portrayed in a movie by Ben Kingsley. Just wrong.

Probably similarly to how clever people feel about you pretending to be one on the internet.

It's still amazing to me how some people stay stuck on sex and discount the actual ability of the horses. Anyone with two eyes can see that there's no such thing as a standout in the older male division and that the top females have as good a shot as any males do. Pool freaking Play just won the Foster yet I'm supposed to believe that Havre de Grace and Blind Luck have no shot at all? Yeah, ok. So glad I'm clueless about this sport.
