Stop telling me what I am being. It's silly.

Well, seeing as you've got Alabama Shakes on your side now, I see resistance is futile.

I'd love to hear whose future odds you think are better value than El Areeb's.

Alabama shakes may be on his side, but Alabama Stakes is not. I'm just trying to learn better vocabulary to try to keep up and understand all the big words that Byk throws around.
It does seem amusing that he would say anything negative about a hoss taking the NYRA path.
Back to your penultimate post....examples of purposefully pedantic you alliterative Bastid

That was funny:-)

They all suck! But I don't think that was your original point.

A similar price on Practical Joke is probably slightly better value. Isn't 11:1 on Classic Empire better theoretical value?

My original point was that I thought he was the best value of the pool, not that future wagers in general are particularly good bets.

I'd have to see Practical Joke run a race as a 3YO first, and the foot issue for Classic Empire makes him impossible to back with any confidence IMO.

I'm not betting either one, and have zero confidence in Classic Empire, but he could EASILY be the favorite, and I think you can make a better case that he is value at 11:1 than your horse at 20:1.

You had zero confidence in tapwrit and mastery......they must not have heard about it I guess. But then you've been nowheresville since you spent all that time crowing about your positive ROI at Saratoga.

Huh? The "zero confidence" thing you quoted from an earlier BTW post referred to El Areeb and Classic Empire, not Tapwrit and Mastery.

True, but he strongly disliked both mastery, and tapwrit
They both were awesome today , by the way
