By his logic you'd have to rank both of them ahead of him.

In your haste to criticize Travis you didn't take the time to understand his post. He was simply pointing out that using the logic that KG presented to him that his list was skewed.

The logic with El Gato Malo in it? I'm pretty sure that one was dripping with sarcasm.

How was my logic skewed? I didn't present any criteria that had to be met in order to be included in any discussion. I just asked a simple question. It's my opinion that had he not broken his leg, Lion Heart was home free in the Travers after that crawling pace. It's my opinion that if he had won that race and beat the Belmont winner in the process, that win along with the Haskell win, the two biggest races of the second half of the year for 3yo's and two of the top 5-6 of the entire year for the division, combined with his runner-up finish in the Derby.......would not have made his inclusion on any list a silly notion. It's your opinion that he wouldn't have won that Travers anyway so I know where you come out on it. I was just asking his opinion on how he felt the race might have played out and if he thought Lion Heart could have won, where that might have placed him. I wasn't presenting any criteria nor logic but merely asking his opinion. Why he felt the need to throw in how mine stinks is something I'll just have to figure out and live with.

In your haste to do I don't know what, as I didn't read past the first sentence, you failed to understand my post, as I was obviously pointing out that Travis felt your logic was skewed....and explained why.

Personally, I don't think you use logic in your posts, as you clearly post things for a reaction.

Thank you. Means a lot.
