Insanity. I thought he made that statement because up to that point, he hadn't considered The Factor as a possible starter in the Dirt Mile, and perhaps thought he was a better fit in the race compared to the Sprint.

If the reason is simply because the great Twirling Candy retired, then his opinion loses a lot of mustard. One look at the Beyers of Trappe Shot and Jackson Bend compared to those of Twirling Candy tells you that.

Actually, all this really signals is that The Factor, with but a single impressive performance in the last 6 months (over polytrack no less) sandwiched between some high profile flops, is the heir-apparent to Twirling Candy's coveted Token Overrated California Horse title.

Zensational would have kicked his ass.
