Since you agree maybe you can explain why the number should be higher. Saying what the time was isn't enough. A lot of factors go into making the figure and I'd like to see you break it down.

Believe it or not they don't just look at who ran second and make a guess from there.

Ill pass on that. Your asking leading questions and Im answering. I dont have to break down anything. I said I would tend to agree. The Factor is special when hes right, maybe even better when he gets things his own way. I thought he was over the top coming in. I was wrong.

What does "special" has to do with a BSF?

I love Baffert I think he is a great trainer and is great fun for the game. The point was his obsurd comments on his charge. The Factor is ok, as long as he gets his own way for the first 4's save that he sucks.

I havent started drnking waiting for you to CREATE a case for a 116 BSF and how the Factor is SPECIAL and FACTS which support Baferts claims.

I'm not asking leading questions at all. You said you agree and I'd like to see why you agree based on the way Beyers are calculated.

Of course you don't have to do anything, but I just assumed you had more evidence the number is incorrect.

Probably the most compelling evidence was his own opinion that The Factor was "over the top".

Makes total sense that the exact opposite, The Factor running a new career top, would play out.

Mr. Commons improved, too.

I think if Baffert saw that the most clueless person on the internet agreed with him he would admit his error...at the very least.

I'm not weighing in on the BSF argument at all...I will say this...The people in the video clip, who are part of the Game On Dude contingent, are very cool!

And here I thought I was special to you. Can't believe you just gave my title away.

You have to work harder if you want to keep your title.
