This is basically why winning 3yo fantasy contests against fields of over 2k people is a peice of cake ... people make horrible strategic blunders trying to guess what will happen 3 months from now and forgetting 4 weeks from now is far more important.
I should have known this was all a way of you to mention the fantasy nonsense. You got me. Well done.

you turned it into a fantasy discussion....unless PG 1985 did before you - which I don't know - because I didn't read his post. But, either way, you should know that you want neither of these horses for the Derby right now.

Is it me?

At no point did I say I wanted either. All I said was if I had to decide between the two of them in the Derby, I want Sway Away. That's it. Nothing else other than that. I'm not making future bets on either and I'm not rushing to bet either back. Just that if you made me decide between the two in the Derby, I'd take Sway Away.

If I had to make a list of horses I like in the Derby The Factor isn't near it and Sway Away isn't either (yet). I didn't say anything about liking either one in their future preps. Just that I think Sway Away has a better chance of getting the 10 furlongs at Churchill on May 7th than The Factor does.

Especially with the black cloud in The Factor's corner.

That's a fantasy horse racing decision.

You should play!
