On the other hand, while believe it or not, I probably have a better resume of successful wagering than you, I think when discussing horses on this board it gives a poster more credibility if he or she has stronger opinions and doesn't hedge what they say constantly. That was the point I was making.

All I said was I would be shocked if Lava Man hits the board. I never said I was taking a stand though I am quite sure that come race day I will take a stand that at least somewhat hinges on that opinion ( where it counts...at the betting windows ). The fact that you have chosen to assault me as though I made some outrageous claims about that opinion is what is actually, to steal a word from your post, ludicrous.

I know a little bit about Dunbar and I can tell that I would be extremely surprised if you have made more money gambling than he has. I'm not saying you haven't because I don't know anything about you. I'm saying that you would have had to have made some serious money over the years gambling because Dunbar has been successful at it for a long time. He's not afraid to step up to the plate either.
