The lack of respect he gets is demonstrated by this thread.

Actually, this thread does the contrary if you really think about it. My initial post said not one disparaging word about the horse. All it said was that i hope he loses. The fact that anyone would make a thread hoping that one horse would lose is a testament to how much hype this horse receives. Do you think if i created a thread entitled "who hopes fleet indian loses" it would generate any type of response? Of course it wouldnt.

People trying to find reasons to beat the odds on favorite is a big part of handicapping. If the only holes one can find are the ones that you listed above, it is a testament to the respect the horse receives. If all you hear are these "criticisms", then perhaps i can list out the 2000 threads and responses over the last few months proclaiming this horse the greatest thing since wheat bread. Or the 200 news articles.
