Too bad we can't just have a fun thread where people post who they like this early without someone coming along to start criticizing.

There are plenty of other threads for that and that's fine...

It's just too bad because it can make some feel a little intimidated or like why even bother.

I respectfully disagree.

Any opinion that can't be defended when questioned or ridiculed is a very weak one.

And indeed, if one offers an opinion that is so weak that you're unwilling to explain the basis or provide it a thorough defense ... why even bother sharing? It's clutter.

You know I respect your opinion but I disagree... it's not clutter. And besides... you have never seemed the type who would rather keep your mouth shut than to deal with confrontation or just plain nastiness for the sake of being nasty like some of us have had to.

There are a lot of different types here and a thread like this? Sorry I think it should be fun and open to everyone no matter what their opinions are without having to have people who seem to love taking little jobs taunt them.

Wait for the weather, post position draw, final fields, etc. for really serious discussion or the threads who proclaim the winner this early out. This should be fun and once the negativity starts? 50/50 there's a domino effect.

Okay so who else has a top 5?

I desperately crave attention and confrontation ... when I'm away from this board, I only get the former about 3 nights a week and I never get the latter from anyone.

You know I respect your opinion, but asking people not to disagree with each other is essentially asking people not to have a discussion.

And I'm sorry, but if people can't handle being disagreed with, then we as people who read the board are probably better off having them decide "the hell with it," anyway.

I thought a fair question was asked and might actually stimulate a discussion.

I'm one of those that included Lines Of Battle and don't mind sharing a few reasons. He's just curious to me......more because of what we don't know than what we do know. He's certainly not a 'win' candidate in my book but a top 5 finish would not surprise me. Nice breeding, appears to have some stamina, looked ok in the UAE Derby and a top flight jockey. I realize all the negatives associated with coming over here from Dubai but that the fact is that 10 of the 20 horses in the Ky Derby will be staggering down the stretch. The endless comments of "I guess he didn't want the distance" or "I guess he didn't like the track" will be espoused after the race. I do believe this horse will be finishing and if he does take to the dirt could be a possibility. Doubtful that he'll be on any of my multi-race wagers but is he a superfecta candidate?...........Sure, why not? Just enough mystery around this guy to be interesting.
