It seems to be a pretty deep race to me.

Because only 3 (maybe 4) horses can possibly win. . . I'd say the Manhattan has been the deepest/most competitive good race this year so far - only one or two horses in there had no shot.

Okay, the manhattan was "more competitive". Does it mean that quality was better? And even if it was better, does that make this an uncompetitive race?

My claim was that this is one of the most competitive fields in any division this year.

Your claim was that i was "way off".

Even if your contention that the manhattan was a better race is true, does that make my original statement "way off"?

How many times this year have we had this many viable open graded stake competitors in one race? Not many times...so...that would mean...that this is one of the most competitive races in any division so far this year...on paper.

I still disagree with you. . . but maybe my "way off" statement came from the expectation that you would be "way off" like you usually are.

So I guess the cheap shot is third grade window treatment for an unsubstantiated statement. Why bother?

You still disagree that this is one of the most competitive races in any division thus far this year? Okay.
