In light of the consistent performances by the "house" horses on that day, year after year, would you not be a tad suspicious of results there.
I'm not talking down to you, and I'm sure you probably remember the data, but do you recall Almutawakel's World Cup win?
Gimme an explanation for that performance if you can. Because years later, I'm still scratching my head.

I'd have to see it again...I know he's a Machivallian horse and I actually remmebered liking the horse some, but I cannot remember the race off hand right now.....sorry

Lemme condense it for you, he never had any good form above the grade 3 level. He freaked out and won easily, then later that year couldnt hit the board in an overnight handicap at Belmont.
I only bring this up because you bash a lotta guys and charge form reversals by their horses and elude to methods they may be using.
You love the Sheiks? Gee I hadn't noticed,lol. What I'm saying is that its ok to love a team or trainer or owner, but in order to be fair wouldn't it be safe to say that some of these horses owned by the folks you love show similiar characteristics to the horses trained by the guys you like to bash?
I think thats a very fair way to put it.
