All you have to do is look at the way she was moving. You don't have to be a vet or a trainer to see it. If you have any sort of eye for horses at all, you would be able to see it.

Speaking of your impeccable "eye for horses"

I'm just wondering if you will keep your word and eat your racing form as you promised in the following thread.

You write about a $650,000 sales topper 2-year-old - and claim "If he's not a stakes horse, I will eat my Racing Form"

That horse never managed to do anything more than string a couple of moderate published workouts on a few separate occasions. He's still winless.

But that wasn't all ... Rupert did singe out one unraced horse who "couldn't run a lick" in that thread ... he turned out to be 3-time Graded Stakes winning sprinter Munnings.

Yes, that's the kind of impeccable eye us dummies all lack.

While no one could ever dispute the impeccable eye (for dapples) Haskin has - he also mentioned before the race that Blame might be better off if positioned behind Zenyatta early on. A laughably absurd idea.
