That explains why he was able to win the Travers in the summer.

Look. After the Tampa Bay Derby, I was also on here saying that it wouldn't surprise me if either he or AGS were knocked out because it may have been too much, too early. What that's called is being wrong. It's ok to be wrong dear and to admit it. It's much better than sticking with the BS like you are doing now.
I have admitted that I was wrong repeatedly about the statement that I would be surprised if he would make it to the Derby. I will not say who the experts are. They speak over most heads, and they will be called wrong because most can't understand. However, I will not admit that I was wrong about the statements of him having soundness issues because I am not wrong.

Honestly, Jessica... most thoroughbreds have soundness problems. Pointing out one that is actually sound would showcase your knowledge much better.

Name a 3 year old from last year that you think was 100% sound.

Yeah, I was just trying to think of all the internet debates I've seen if there is any more lame attempt to prove your point than to say experts agree with you but you won't say who they are because they are above others heads. I couldn't come up with one.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it really make a sound?

If an expert makes an observation and nobody understand it cause it's wrong, is he really an expert?

If God forbid, this Littlemisslittlemisscan'tbewrong actually goes on to the profession she claims she is working towards, imagine the untold and unfortunate possibilities of her future diagnostic work ????!!!!!!


The identities of the so-called experts she draws upon which can not be understood by the masses and therefore can not be assessed at EITHER right nor wrong, exist only in her head .... Where no one can touch them ... Is it any wonder then, that she alone understands them ???

And the world is flat too ...

Twaddle and flatulence ...

Blackthroatedwind---I agree with you, but isn't it Temple Gwathney ????

This may qualify you as one of those experts nobody can understand.

I knew someone would get me on that!

i thought it was gwathmy?

and then i read on and saw prudery beat me to that.


well, if a winner going longer is better than a winner at shorter, then steeplechasing should be considered the creme de la creme. go longer, carry more weight, and have to keep jumping all at the same time.

Thank GOD I'm actually not a know-it-all, and that words from a message board will not keep me from reaching my full academic potential. Nor will those words keep me from owning race horses and hunters.
