The point? They're all opinions, some more informed than others, and in all likelihood your " opinion " in this discussion is, in fact, more informed than most of ours. But that doesn't preclude the rest of us from having opinions.

This is a chatroom about horseracing, a business where many supposed facts are disseminated that turn out to be, to be kind, less than true. I am constantly surprised by what people accept as fact only to unsurprisingly find out were not accurate. Is this one of those cases? I don't know, I hope not, and I tend to believe that you are, for the most part, correct. I certainly want to believe you are. But, and I would guess you would really agree with this, skepticism is a positive attribute in horse racing.

I also never believed that Barbaro was suddenly thrown into grave danger....I just think this recent news is not " great " news. But, as Dr. Richardson pointed out in the very beginning, this was going to be a long process.

Ok. I guess your spin comment bothered me, but you have every right to make your opinions known.
