Go back in Steve's archives and listen to the Dutrow Jr interview. He was questioned by Steve Haskin and Steve Byk.

Rollo why the nasty tone today? You lose a big bet?

Why does anyone buy a 2/3yo who wins a debut by 11?

The blacksmith thing was a dig, but I figured you had first hand knowledge of Reynold's footwork else you wouldn't be crazy enough to post about it, just was trying to get you to back up your statement.

The Big Brown thing wasn't meant to be nasty. His first start for Reynolds was on grass, and his 3yo debut several months later was carded for the grass. With that information alone (I mentioned I didn't read any articles about him) you'd be hard pressed to think that his connections were eyeing a main track campaign.

Oh, and I did lose today but I bet the race yesterday so it almost feels like I didn't lose at all. Of course, it doesn't feel like I won, either...
