Huge dust-up.

You were one of a few different screen names who typed a lot mocking me when I said that the rabbit would hurt War Pass and probably cost him the race and it hurt my feelings considerably.

The rabbit was supposed to be way too slow and a poor choice of rabbit.

Men shouldn't hold grudges. Especially ones who criticize a feminine throwing president.

Read a history book. It is perfectly acceptable for men to hold personal grudges. Wars are fought over such things.

I jerked off into a girls shampoo bottle because she hurt my feelings.

I would whip myself up into an inner fenzy and try to injure even my friends in gym class and make it look like acidents if they ever did or said anything I didn't like.

There is nothing even remotely feminine about having pride.

Getting back to the thread, I agree the 109 is too high and that AL 98 is too low.

Why? Just guessing? Any insight?

I posted in the other thread on this and parisix sums up pretty much how I feel. AQ was not slow on Sat and that time for the Wood was avg, I think sometimes draw off performances simply get overrated....The HAW fig is tougher. That track was pretty slow so the raw final doesn't bother me.

Figs aren't always perfect. Remember that Arnold(I think) maiden a few years ago getting 20 subtracted from it? It does happen.

You think that Eskendereya got a 109 because he drew off late?

He ran a very strong final time based on the pace of the race. Was it aided by the pace of the race? More than likely but when you take his time at face value stacked up against the Excelsior it was a strong effort.

If there was one horse in any of the stakes portion whose figure can be taken with a grain of salt (and not because it's wrong, I think it's right on) its Warrior's Reward who ran a fifth of a second faster for the 7/8ths in the Carter than Eightyfiveinafifty did in the Bay Shore despite the pace of the Carter being nearly a second slower. I think Warrior's Reward's effort was outstanding.

Well I just said he probably did affect him. I was probably wrong, and I think I admitted as much after. I'm wrong a lot in this game. Since he never ran again though, I won't say it is 100% certain because he was a headstrong horse that was hard to handle early anyway.
