Randy ...

In light of my admonition above ... you may want to change your signature line.

To say that Spectacular Bid was better than Secretariat is exactly the type of silly amateurism that I warned against. Compare the 3YO record of Spectacular Bid with the 3YO record of Secretariat ... and you'll realize how foolish you look.

That's one way to respond ... but ...

... a better way would have been to check the records ... and then write ...

"Gee, Bold ... you were right ... Secretariat was a much better 3YO than Spectacular Bid. From now on my signature line will be:

Mineshaft was the best horse since Spectacular Bid. And Spectacular Bid was the best 4YO ever."

Yeah ... I think that would have been a bit better response ... don't you?

Yes, because I need to justify myself to some shmuck on a message board. I could give a rats ass what you think. And I never once in this thread even brought Spec Bid up. SO I have no clue why you dragged me into this to begin with....so "Gee Bold you were right, you are a deuche bag"

You bring Spectacular Bid up every time you post ... which is fine ... he was our last truly great horse.

If you don't want commentary on your comparison of Secretariat and Spectacular Bid ... don't post that comparison over and over again.

And the correct spelling is "douche" bag ... from the French word for washing.

Sorry about that, my full breakdown will be coming up shortly, so don't go anywhere.
