As for your position that these people know far more than you do and you are prepared to accept their rankings, I couldn't disagree more. What makes them a better judge of talent than you? It would be different if they saw the races and you didn't but since you can see the races just as they can, their opinion is no more valid than yours is. I don't know how long you have been a racing fan but I've been one for just over 20 years. Why should I accept their opinions as the facts if my eyes and experience tell me something else?

I completely agree with the 2nd part.
The first.....if that time is not yet, as you say, how will anyone know when that time comes? Isn't there a chance it's now but too little people are paying attention?
Emotion influences my truth, sure, but what bothers me a little are that there are obvious standouts who are lumped in a package labled "far East horses". I don't know if this makes sense.
