Might as well have walkovers in racing because obviously only the winner belongs and nobody else.

Now I hope he scratches the horse, because anything else will be a "See I told you so response"

Go root for all of the connections that spew the same garbage talk pre derby than duck a TC grade 1 race because it now doesnt fit our schedule. Strange how a head loss changes so much.

You have yet to address the real issue at hand and are merely just deflecting. I have made my point -- very clearly -- and you haven't. The only point you have made is that your position has zero credibility and is indefensible. It's utter nonsense. I see you've taken up this arguement on more than on BB, and still haven't addressed the issue at hand. Are you some sort of PR guy or what?

Anyway, it's very transparent and you have made it abundantly clear that you really just don't get it. You have time and time again turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the real issue at hand. Simply put, that is what proves my point -- not the fact that you can't -- the simple fact that you refuse to even address it. It's one thing if you don't know anything about the game and then I would understand your naivete. But that doesn't appear to be the case. However, you are passionate in defending a friend with his resume, yet, again, fail to address the real issue.


Here it is -- read slow now so maybe you get it. Mr. Roman himself said that the horse would be make his presense felt early on, even though he felt he wouldn't be anywhere in it at the end. Even Mr. Roman doesn't think the horse belongs in the race, yet the one overwhelming statement has been that he'll make his presense felt early on. That's a pretty simple statement which I think you could see. You speak about winning a G1 at a home track. Nobody has seen those comments made -- and the only one making them is you. Do the above statements refect that? There was also commentary that Hard Spun should "watch out" or something along those lines.

If Mr. Roman wants to run his horse -- great. I wish him the best of luck. I am sure there are others here who would dispute that, but that too is not the issue. Personally, I truly enjoy seeing people who are passionate about the game go out and love the game and what they are doing. This colt beats the field fair and square -- great. However, that's not what you or Roman have spoke about. All I've heard is making a horse's presense felt. What does this mean and do? Does it translate into perhaps assuring that a race might not be cleanly run?

However, with all of this in mind, what about costing another horse the race -- when taken in the context that one admits they really don't stand a chance or don't belong in the race? Is this horse making his presense felt early on going to try and prove something? To hear the horse's name being called on top? Might he be stinging another horse, who does in fact have a legitimate chance to win -- again, in this context? Will this non-contender, in context, compromise the legitimate chances of a legitimate contender? What's the cost attached to that? It's not about winning a G1 race at one's home track -- you know those comments are not about that, and I know it as well. Are you getting it now?

This is my concern -- and if something like this happens it is not good for the game. It's disgraceful.

You have proven nothing in your foolish position simply by not addressing the facts that you apparently don't get. More importantly, I think you really don't want to get it.

Your blind support of a friend is superceding your common sense.

I am surprised your PR is so well received here.
