Look up the word obstinate if you aren't familiar with it.

I have a few other words I could ask you to look up, lol. What's your problem, seriously? I disagree with you and you have to be rude? You still have not explained why McLaughlin entered this horse in the Hutch if he wanted to learn about him. Why didn't he just point for the Gotham? By the way, none of the other speed horses scratched, so he looks like McLaughlin was the only trainer afraid to run.

Well first of all, all I did was confirm the scratch, which no one else had mentioned here (it was just speculation before). As to repeating myself, I would not have done so except for Steve's unnecessary response.

Oy vey... You belabored a nonsensical point and then when that wasn't enough further ridiculously assign a cowardice label for the highly logical move of bypassing this spot for a better one. You're obstinate beyond belief.

So what you're saying is that anyone that doesn't agree with you is obstinate? I don't think it's a logical move and I haven't been convinced that it is, but since we're not talking about a horse that's particularly good, it's really silly to continue the argument. I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does in his next race.

Betsy. The obstinate aspect, which was suggested in a humorous vein, is not that you're disagreeing with me.. There's nothing to disagree about with me as I have no opinion on the decision itself. I don't care what KMc and Darley do with Crossbow. I was only trying to explain the thought process and why/where particulars involved in decision-making of this kind and its' merits. I'll give you Kiaran McLaughlin's or Jimmy Bell's contact info if you want. You can explain their folly to them.

Steve, I understand their decision making process, but I disagree with it - which is fine. In any case, I appreciate your thoughts on why they made the decision that they did.

I think Crossbow would have been far from hopeless in here.

He certainly would have been a better play than the stretchout Trippi at 4/5.

I guess we'll never know; I'm sorry they didn't take their shot, but it's over and done with.

As to the Davona Dale, I guess those who were thinking of Ward's filly as a Derby type can now think again.
