Now, be careful, you could be treading into meanness territory and away from simple teasing. Am I going to have to send you a threatening PM? I may not be tougher than I look, but.....

To be mildly serious, I don't think you can say in one sentence " the horse is finished " and in the next say " but he may well beat Any Given Saturday ".

I also think getting too caught up in Sheetspeak, without looking at the entire situation, is extremely dangerous.

I was trying to say the same thing, but the words didn't come to me.
Don't get so hung up on those numbers and theories. Just look at the race. He had a dream trip, things went his way and he won easy. Surely the number was inflated a bit, but to project that he is through? Wathc the horse galloping home, does he look through?

I will happily eat crow if I'm wrong. I honestly don't like rooting against horses...But if I'm right, I sure as hell hope I get the same.

You mean like the poster who earlier today was arguing with me about how great Round Pond was?

Seriously, we take our stands at the windows, and take our lumps when we are wrong. The rest is just fun conversation.

OH ok Andy...Apparently our stands and our bets are not correlated in any way. My fault. How silly.

Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't.

Did you book an enormous winter book bet on Street Sense in the Derby?
