His comment was ridiculous though and I know he would figure out some bs around answering the question.

Thankfully we will all see how ridiculous it was in a week when American hosres like Kip Deville and Hough's horse finish well ahead of Nobiz.

Maybe Nobiz can be the next great polytrack horse.

whatever, it seems to me that NoBiz continues to exceed expectations on the turf. i'm amazed at how strong peoples opinion get on minor issues that really don't require a strong opinion. three months ago you would have boldly stated that anybody thinking that NoBiz would win three consecutive stakes on the turf would need their heads examined. yet I believe that is what he has done. Is he the best in the US? I don't know, maybe not, but he hasn't raced against the best yet. sometimes its okay just to give differing opinions and leave out the claims of BS and insults, claiming people are ridiculous, etc.
you leave yourself open to looking like a complete buffoon should NoBiz step up again.

No, the buffoons were the ones who hyped him on the dirt. The horse is not fast. Maybe he is of the caliber of Albert the Great. A solid horse but clearly not deserving of the hype he gets. Saying he showed a turn of foot like no other American turf horse in years is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous and an insult to some very nice turf horses. I can think of a horse like Crossing the Line this year that has a way quicker turn of foot, but I guess his sire doesn't spend a lot of money advertising on the bloodhorse.

Crossing The Line was bred in New Zealand.

if No Biz is not fast, is he then slow? how does a horse that is not fast win as many races as NoBiz does? talk about ridiculous buffoonish statements.

Um, Crossing the Line is not an American horse.
