Obviously Mott sees talent here or else he wouldnt keep placing him in these races and the 10-1 morning line was too good to be true come post time.
Betting connections blindly is a fools road to poverty but i dont think eajinabi ever said that. He just said that that was a part of his thinking...and obviously he was correct.

Spare me. You're making dude's argument sound way too nuanced and specific. It wasn't about Mott and how he wouldn't "keep banging his head into a wall".. The 'argument' boiled down to "Big name connections = Good." That's all there was to it, and I know this because I asked dude to back up his argument in this particular situation, and he couldn't.
Besides, I don't think you realize how many people have an investment in Court Vision. If you think that Mott is in the position to just drop him into a listed stake if he feels like it, you're very mistaken.
