Maybe you should ask Bloodstock agent John Moynihan if picking out Charismatic, or Curlin or Rachel Alexandra for Jess Jackson had little or no effect on how good they might become. I actually really laughed out loud at myself. Charismatic was one of the first horses John picked out for Robert Lewis and ya Lukas practically gave the horse away for 62.5 twice before realizing how good this guy was! Sometimes, just sometimes these horses fool ya cause your not a Horse Whisperer. But, John Moynihan sure the hell is and you can go ask Bob Baffert, Charlotte Weber, or even Sheikh Mohammed. I bet they would say nah, because they would just up the ante for his expertise on how much they pay the guy.
i fail to see how who picked a horse out has any impact on how the horse turns out. either a horse has talent, or he doesn't. are you really suggesting a horse suddenly runs faster because of the person who picks him out at a sale? if john smith had picked out curlin, or joe shmo picked out charismatic, they'd have been slower because the right guy didn't buy them?
but then, i fail to see how your rudeness proves your point either, so i guess i'm just loony like that.
