Talking Stop The Hand Ringing!

Give me a break,All the hand ringing and fence riding by all but a few of the so called professional handicappers is about to make me sick!
Especially on Tvg,Todd Shrupp,Rich Perloff,Dave Weaver,Matt Carruthers,Simond and all that gang and but for the exception of Jon White,Steve Byk nobody is willing to step up from a handicapping standpoint and say that I'll Have Another is the fastest horse in the race!
From a strict handicapping standpoint he has the past performance the breeding the obviously will to win and I think from a pace stand point he looks to have both tactical speed and the ability to quicken or turn of foot to close in the last 1/4 mile to over take any potential "thief"(Paynter)that might try to steal the race on the front end!
From A Beyer #(last or average)from the sheets or any other numerical speed value he is lengths ahead of Paynter(his closest)Dullahand(Likely off the pace main threat)or even Union Rags who just isn't that fast of horse(Or has the pedigree to get he distance).
These guys are trying to hedge there picks with a "Emotional"pick or who they are "Rooting"for but are trying to use anecdotal data or historical nonsense that is not congruent or applies to a handicapping perspective
Give me speed,pace,weight,jockey/trainer stats/even post position and weather for your reasons but not races against Spectacular Bid or Real Quiet,Funny Side or the other of the 11 who for whatever reason couldn't get it done because I'll Have Another is not racing those colts!
