Just because you said it in April didn't mean it was true then. I said Galloping Grocer was going to win the TC after his first couple of races. After a few more, I realized he was garbage and admitted as much. If you can't learn to adjust your opinion as more and more evidence pours in, your arguments really will have no merit because you will always be speaking from the perspective of trying to prove yourself right instead of objectively looking at things.

I understand your points. I can still be correct in my statement based on when I was referring too. Hey Bern was very good in April and stunk by June. That happens to many horses including GG. Ilysium Fields got injured and we will never know but he was a very good horse in April.
