I'd have to see Practical Joke run a race as a 3YO first, and the foot issue for Classic Empire makes him impossible to back with any confidence IMO.
I'm not betting either one, and have zero confidence in Classic Empire, but he could EASILY be the favorite, and I think you can make a better case that he is value at 11:1 than your horse at 20:1.

You had zero confidence in tapwrit and mastery......they must not have heard about it I guess. But then you've been nowheresville since you spent all that time crowing about your positive ROI at Saratoga.

Huh? The "zero confidence" thing you quoted from an earlier BTW post referred to El Areeb and Classic Empire, not Tapwrit and Mastery.

True, but he strongly disliked both mastery, and tapwrit
They both were awesome today , by the way
