Then again, that probably is the only race you've ever seen of his, because you don't strike me as the type to really dig into anything before spouting off and playing expert.

..and you're using that as ammunition for trying to validate the completely preposterous assertion that Commentator would beat him? What would you say the distance would have to be? Maybe a mile and an eighth at Saratoga, since that was the site and distance of Commentator's best career effort? I'd say Commentator may get past the 1/4 pole with the lead against GZ at 9 furlongs at the Spa, then he'd get a good view of his rear end getting farther and farther away. Let's not even talk about what would happen at 7 furlongs.

yeah , he beat rexsons last hope in his last race, that horse was 60-1. and that horse came back at GP to run up the track. i believe the announcer said the same crap that day . i've made alot of money betting against him. hes never been the same since the whitney victory. i laughed when he was only 7-1 in the breeders cup , he had no shot . usually when he runs up here they put him in a NY bred condition and he jogs. the minute he steps up to the the top comp hes fizzles. pyhsical problems and one dimensional running style do not make a grade 1 or 2 competitor. they will run him down every time especially if he stretches out, i don't even see that horse making a mile right now . can you say discreet cat ? theres another chump they kept hyping as the "fastest in the world".
