Sad Day for Beyer Haters

So now it's about me?

Get a grip....Cowtown Cat finished 20th. I don't want, or expect, or need, anyone to compliment me about my opinions on this or any race, but you now sticking me in this discussion, especially in a shitty way, is REALLY lame.

I do take the heat when I'm wrong, and joke about it, and even make fun of myself publicly sometimes. One thing I wouldn't do, however, is talk about all the things I was mildly right about after I had humiliated myself as badly as you did with Street Sense.

I wasn't bringing you into anything, gimme a break. I'm simply making a point that consistency doesn't exist around here....And now I was humiliated? LOL. I've never even rooted against the horse as I posted months ago. This is a gambling game Andy isn't it. You bet what you think. I posted what I thought at the time.

Yes, you were humiliated. The fact that you don't see that is probably why in your " I am eating crow " post you started off by saying Street Sense wasn't even the best horse in the race and mostly talked about how you were right about Sedgefield.

To each his ( or her ) own.....but I think when someone is as wrong as you were, and as vociferous as you were, they should be a LOT more contrite. When I put the dunce cap on, and announced " I'm a dunce ", I didn't whine that Cowtown Cat rode a gold rail and crawling pace to victory. I simply said I was dunce and moved on.....I didn't add that I thought Dominican was the horse to use to make money in the Blue Grass. Everything else is irrelevent to the focal point.

Fair enough. My initial post about SS wasn't gracious enough I guess. Subsequent posts in the thread surely were...I will say though, that the horse that runs the fastest Juvy in history is probably going to run well again in his life....So I most likely was going to be wrong when I wrote it...And alas, I was.

I'll throw this in...I'm far more impressed by the fact that he tossed Cowtown Cat & publicly picked him to finish last than the fact that he picked the favorite to win the Derby. Cowtown Rat had some buzz by some wiseguys & I personally thought he had a chance to hit the board if things played out right.
