hemingway's key & bernardini

[POINTGIVEN1985]

what is the point of this post ? did you bet hk, and now your upset and had to post something ? if bernardini were still in training he'd easily be one of the top 3 horses in the world, i dont even consider hk a good horse

You're acting like Hemingway's Key ever got within a pole of Bernardini.

i think he was closer to bernardini than he was to istan today (he finished last over 18 lengths behind). i guess it is time for those "just give istan HOY now" threads to start popping up. isn't that what happens when you soundly defeat hemingway's key?

Yeah, because it was only after he beat Hemingway's Key that those threads started popping up.

I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that you had a dime on Invasor in the Breeders' Cup. If you really made such a killing off being "right" about Bernardini, why would you feel the need to make a thread like this four months after the horse retires, when no one is even discussing him? It sounds like you feel a hell of a lot more bitter than you do vindicated.

It reeks of bitterness, not vindication.

this response is clearly so clever and sophisticated, that it is impossible to respond to it.

you know i made money on invasor in the bcc. i told everyone for about a week before the race that he was my pick. i even had it as my signature.
as for being bitter....you are right about that. i really didn't like the way people who were legitimately questioning this horse last year were treated, so i take every reasonable opportunity to question this horse. given that hemingway's key was in the $ in two of bern's biggest victories, i thought his dismal performance today reinforced the things i was saying last year about bern's competition.

1) let me state again that i absolutely did not bet on hemingway's key. i have never placed a single wager on a race at tampa bay in my life.
2) do i need a pat on the back for picking invasor? no. ateamstupid is the one that brought up me picking invasor.
3) your argument that this stuff happened 4 or 5 moths ago and is therefore not important is even more absurd than your other points. don't we talk about/debate horses that raced 5 or 10 or 35 years ago on this board? do you respond to all of those posts with "Why bring this up now?"
if you have any other points that you would like me to destroy with logic, please feel free to continue posting them on this thread.
