Weren't you the one at the top of the thread giving GZ the business about a short career, and now you are taking Candy Ride over him. I don't get the logic?

He doesn't believe in using logic in arguments. Its counter to his principles.

I always use logic. People like you just are not smart enough to understand logic.

My posts are very consistent. A short career can't make for a great horse. As I stated, neither could be a great horse. They are both in that talented category but not great. If I had to take one or the other I would take Candy Ride. If I had to take a great horse or one of these two, I would take a great horse.

Here is a logic lesson for you

If somebody says a horse can't be great with a short career that does not equal that if you have two horses that were not great, the one with the longer career would be superior.

I was using length of career as a factor in determining greatness, not as a factor in determining which of two non great horses is better.

Do you understand that or is logic to complicated for you? You can't mix your conditions.

I guess greatness doesn't mean much to you. If he was great what do we call horses like Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Dr. Fager, Forego, etc. You can't seriously put a horse like Ghostzapper of Candy Ride in a league with those horses. They are clearly a notch below greatness. You can't race 11x in 4 years and be great. Those top horses ran 11x or more in a single year.

Probably the dumbest thing I have ever read here. Candy Ride ran a mile in 131 flat (A WORLD RECORD) and holds a track record at Del Mar at 10f. Lava Man is not even in his league.

That is what we call an "I didn't know what the hell I was talking about post." Make them, realize how stupid you look, and then say you did it on purpose.

Sounds like a Ghostzapper lunatic fan. Anyway you look at it Ghostzapper and Candy Ride are virtually the same horse. Tons of talent, but no strong enough to get to the track regulary. Running that fast probably led to their soundness issues. That is what separates great horses from very good ones like GZ and CR.

That was a joke in reference to Durkin's exclamation at the wire of the Wood, in which he screamed "jaZEEEEL!"

Sorry if you didn't catch it.
