Questions for PointGiven1985

Peace Rules in a romp in any state. The only reason Lava Man keeps in winning in California is because there is zero real competition in California.

Empire Maker was the best horse, but no way his wins trump the Derby/Preakness double. FC won the NCAAs, EM the NIT.

I was thrilled, and hardly at all surprised, that Empire Maker dominated Funny Cide in the Belmont. I think there is zero doubt he was the better horse. However, he didn't deserve 3YO honors.


Any sane person knows Dynever deserved that Eclipse.

I see even you were so embarrassed by the inclusion of " $400K " that you edited it out.

Set....match.

But do know you went Andrew Golota on me in this thread.

If it makes you feel better....I will revise the 2003 Fountain Of Youth to Grade 2 status....even though it factually wasn't.

I'm sure it was part of the Florida Stallion series.

I also think that Empire Maker loses a few points for skipping the Preakness. He was not, however, off the board in the Derby.

I thought he came in Fourth if not my mistake, I might be thinking of Point Given.
