I disagree. That was minimal interference. 8 was getting blown by.

A bit of an acting job on that 8.

Shared Belief is the truth.

Im still not sure. He beat nothing. GOD is probably finished and the pace was wicked, and he is clearly better on dirt. Belief got a dream run off the wicked pace. He beat a decent euro synthetic specialist.... Thats it.

winning at another track, beating older on a grade 1 for his 5th? Victory in a row, from an unfavorable post...i dont think the field were world beaters at this point but this horse is doing everything asked of him with relative ease...

the dude didn't seem to mind the poly last year

Well the horse seems uncontrollable. Reeled off a 44 and chance 800m (4f) in his last race in Argentina. Other races he was out loose on the lead through quick fractions. Saw that and knew Game on Dude had no chance.

It was a desperate claim...winner was going right past. I wanted him down too...would have been nice!

I just said Im not sure. Im not bashing the horse, but look on twitter in facebook.... People are calling him horse of the year already. The post didn't matter at all, he basically tripped out because of the outside draw. As for GOD I have always felt he was a little better on dirt. He has paired up 117 beyers on dirt. Im not saying he is a bad synthetic horse, but I think its reasonable to assume his best races are behind him.
