What would you do if, by some wild chance, you ever get another really good horse.....and PG comes on here and declares his undying love for it?

Other than hire an extra night watchman that is.

Good advice.

PG85,
After reading this whole thread, I have a quick question for you:
Who do you think would win between Commentator and Curlin going 1 1/8?

I'm afraid to read the response. You can't fix stupid.

I'm pretty sure pg would say curlin here, but i wouldn't be totally sure as he has not made his opinion known yet. I do beleive when he chimes in though, he will undoubtedly have speed figure to back up his fine assertation.

And beating up on Rexson's Rose made you draw this conclusion?

Final speed figures are an important tool but don't tell the whole story. The figures must be viewed in terms of the trip, and the competition. Elite Squadron is not a stakes quality speedball. Commentator has already proven that when he faces inferior rivals, he will run it up and put up a monster number. When you are 1-5 you are expected to blow away the competiton.

Why are you holding out on us?
I want to know if you think Commentator would beat Curlin at the following distances:

1 1/8?
9 furlongs?
1 2/16?
8.5 furlongs (plus another half furlong)?

I wait for your answer. Also, be sure to leave out what other horses are entered in this hypothetical race, what the surface and pace are like, and other useless things like that. I just want you to tell me in some vague and meaningless way, who you think would win.

I don't think Commentator would beat him at 7f let alone the longer distances. Kind of reminds me when Unbridled faced Housebuster at 7f and we remember how that turned out.

No offense, but the only person I am interested in hearing from on this question is jcs11204.
I don't trust the rest of you.

It might be time to take that sarcasm detector into the shop.

What am I missing here.

Could you let us know what #'s you are looking at?

Commentator's final time for the 7f was 1:23.23.

Curlin's last breeze before he left for Dubai was 7f in 1:23.60.

Curlin's maiden, on the same track, same distance, I think, was faster. And he didn't even know how to run at that time.

This is a joke, right?
