since when does placing in one or two make you better than a winner?

When looking at one race it doesnt, but to me placing 2nd or 3rd in several Graded races is better than getting lucky in winning just 1 Graded race. I am focusing on the entire body of work. When looking at the entire body of work Tiago doesnt make the grade in my opinion.

What makes you say that Tiago got lucky? He ran a big number and it's not like the rest of the horses fell down in front of him. . .

I am not a beyer fig man at all. I could care less what the beyer was. Look at his entire resume. And he didnt put all his eggs in one basket. I believe he finished 7th in a Grade II earlier this year. He plodded up and won a race that completely feel apart at the end.

That race did not fall apart at all IMO. . . You seem to think fairly highly of King of the Roxy, so I really don't understand your logic. . . It kind of worries me that you agree with me about Pyramid Love tommorow. ..

I dont think highly of KOTR. I think he is more deserving than Tiago.

You have avoided my posts in this thread, which has been wise because you cannot dispute them, but at some point even the captain of the titanic might have tried to jump off. Maybe you should think about doing this.

One win was from a DQ. He finished 3rd in a MSW and a 2 in a MSW and then 7th in the Bevelry Lewis beaten by a mile. Then he gets lucky and runs the race of his life. To me one race doesnt cut it.

I am sorry, what am I avoiding? I must have missed them.
