And if you don't agree with someone's opinion, that doesn't mean it's bad, it only means you think it's bad. Some difference there. Any honest horseplayer alive will tell you he's been beat by a horse he's had a bad opinion of. Guess what, that same horse made other people good money.
Crazy sh1t happens in horse racing every day. If you take it seriously enough you can and will find opportunities that 9 out of 10 of the top-shelf, 'name-brand' handicappers miss. The day you single or press a winning 20-1 in a successful p-3 or p-4 based on something you see or think, these same people will tell you you stabbed and got lucky. You'll know better.
Education and experience are overrated, by the way. Education gets you your first job. Experience gets you your second job. After that, it's all performance.
As an aside, didn't someone on this board like Summer Book in the Sunshne Millions race and was ridiculed to no end on this forum?

There are plenty of " bad " opinions in racing, and just like the proverbial broken clock is right sometimes, on occasion these same " bad " opinions turn out to be " correct ". However, that doesn't make them good or well informed opinions. Coming into a discussion about a horse that can't even get to the racetrack midway through it's 3YO season and saying you expect it to be a Grade 1 winner is, in fact, the very essense of a " bad " opinion. It is completely ill-informed and has no basis in reality. This is the kind of opinion made by someone who has no idea of the truth in this particular case and is simply throwing sh1t against the wall. Why might one think it was just made to gather attention ( which does happen whether or not YOU understand this ) might be because they are confused as to why the poster would even post something that outrageous.
