There is no "method" involved.

Somer is having his own fun time ... making very subjective judgments about horses he knows and likes.

It's literally impossible to compare Flying Childers ... a horse who raced 3 times on turf against a total of four opponents in England 300 years ago and 80 years before the breed was even defined ... to Forego ... a horse who raced 59 times on dirt in America 30 years ago against hundreds of opponents.

Let him have his fun ... we're all entitled to a hobby ... and there's nothing here to take so seriously.

Was Flying Childers the one who liked to graze when the race was starting? That one's my personal favorite.

No ... I believe that was Kincsem ... you know the way those Hungarian mares are ... don't you?

Mrs. Brooklynite's maternal grandfather was an officer in Emperor Franz-Joseph's Austro-Hungarian cavalry.

Hey ... maybe he knew Kincsem !!! Too bad the old boy has been dead for 60 years.
