Not that it matters but I've been playing the ponies for at least the past 37 years...I was at Saratoga when Onion beat Big Red...I was at Saratoga when General Assembly won in the mud...I was there when Alydar and Affirmed battled in the Travers...I've been to more than a few tracks and seen more than a few good race horses...it is ok for someone to have liked Smarty Jones...it is ok for someone to have liked Easy Goer...or Four Star Dave or War Emblem or even a rat like Spend A Buck...much of this game revolves around forming opinions...and there ain't nothing wrong with everybody having different ones.

We have a winner!!! Well said....
