As for the racing experts comment......note to self.....don't read your posts while eating or drinking.
I just spit my drink out. Lost in the Fog...overrated? You have got to be kidding me...

This statement really doesn't even warrant a response, so I won't even try. It won't do any good anyway.

I do not pretend to know everything. I do not know everything. No one does. It is horse racing.

Take your ridiculous emotion out of it for a second and look at it.

You are overestimating her.

That emotion was the reason he was a great toss out as a huge underlay in the BC Sprint.
