Calvin knows where the lilly pads are. Give him a live mount and he will threaten. I cant understand why some of the big timr trainers dont utilize him more often.. Do any of you think he will keep Street Sense? As far as a rail bias, when the best horses run on the rail it will look like a rail bias. I agree with euro. Can you name one of the horses that won that wasnt the best horse Sat.

How are we supposed to know who the best horse is if there's such a blatant bias? It's the chicken and the egg.

You have to go by margin of victory. Street Sense was probably best no matter what, but I can't confidently say that Round Pond was the best horse in her race or that Thor's Echo was the best horse in his. I think Dreaming of Anna was the best horse in her race, but that's just because I'm a fan of hers and think she has superior ability to any other 2-year-old filly.

Who would you say was the best horse in the Distaff? Pine Island and Fleet Indian didnt finish. Who does that leave. There were 13 Grade I winners in that field. And Thor's Echo had one of the best beyers and ran a good 2nd to Bordornaro.

Boy then Invasor was the best horse in the BCC by much more than 1 length. I know they had Berni measured and shut down late stretch, but if there was a big bias in that race, Invasor ran a more than fantastic race. In fact, one might say no horse was even close to him.
