But I think that u have to admit that some of the suggestions or ideas that I have aren't THAT wild. They may go against conventional thinking but they aren't crazy. I think the most recent (Discreet Cat to the Mile, Ouija Board to the Classic, George Washington to the Classic, Gorella and Wait a While to the Distaff), the only question is the switch in surface. With the exception of Wait a While, who I think has just become a different horse, none of the others have tried the new surface so I don't think it's fair to say that they CAN'T do it. When I try and handicap, I go by what I think at the two most important factors; class and distance. If a horse fits in those two areas, I give them a shot. I worry about surface last. I think that each of the crazy suggestions, the horse fit class and distance wise in the races I would go for. It's outside but not too far.

Sorry, but I can think of little I find more relevent than surface and if you think Gorella runs in any way like a horse that would be successful on the dirt I want a big bag of what you're smoking.....because you're flat out nuts or stoned. As for Wait a While....send me a bag of that as well. Dude, she's ALREADY competed extensively on the dirt and PROVEN herself to be inferior to the competition she would be facing. To suggest that her sudden improvement when put on the turf was somehow random, and I guess just coincidental to a huge physical improvement on her part, is as unsubstantiatable as it is ludicrous. Hell, Pletcher even said well before the American Oaks he felt she was better on the turf.
Frankly, any random opinion you give that turns out to be true is WAY overshadowed by the plentitude of illogical thoughts.
