Like, um, its not even worth discussing anymore. Horse's career low Beyer coming into this is 97 with an average of 106 and runs an 86 and nothing is amiss? If you cant see that something was wrong (perhaps its as simple as the horse has no desire to look another horse in the eye and fight) its just, like...not worth it...

I can only imagine the excitement and glee that Bold and Dalakhani must have had when LITF lost...That's great, you picked a horse that would not win, but did not pick the winner, so you had a 10/11 chance of being right, that's some great analysis, really makes me respect your insight and knowledge...

There are plenty of sprinters that have given 8+ pounds. Why, oh why, would you think that was such an accomplishment to give 8+ lbs and lose badly?
It's hard to believe that there is yet another new idiot posting on this board. Welcome!

Sorry, I had to hit the head. Kona Kills LITF any day.

Ummm ... like we weren't handicapping the race ... but kind of like you know responding to the people who were so judgmental ... and they were saying like this horse is really so great ... and like we're "Hello ... then why does this great horse like lose every time he runs against good horses?" ... and they're like "He wasn't himself ... he was horny" ... and we're like "Yeah ... tell me all about it ... I've been there" ... and then we're like "Hello ... what does being horny have to do with it?" And we're just like trying to analyze what happened ... and not like ... you know ... pick winners ... because picking winners is so judgmental ... and we're like "Hello ... judgmental? If that's what you have to be ... I'm outta here" ... so like when these people say how great this horse is ... we're like "Gag me with a spoon?"

You know?

The funniest thing about this whole thing to me is this. BB said first post that he wasnt making the thread because people on here thought the horse was great, it was people on other "pretty pony" message boards. Then why post it here in the first place???

Why do you care? It's evident that you can't pick winners, so why are you even commenting on LITF? Let others think what they want. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (even if it doesn't match yours. )

My personal opinion is that LITF is an animal and not a robot. He's not going to be perfect and he's allowed to lose. He's no claimer... he's a better than average horse who has won more money than most thoroughbreds ever will. I would be a happy camper if I owned a "loser" like him.

I feel dumber for reading that...

Anyone with half a brain and knowledge about horses would know that LITF is not an all time great, but he's a good horse that's won his fair share of races and money. Why do you want to be patted on the back for stating the obvious? Now, if you would have said Nightmare Affair or Silver Train would have won, then I would have been impressed, but these LITF threads are rediculous.

Ummm ... like because those people from the other site like follow me around ... and like every time I post here it's like "Hello ... here we all are from the other place ... like hanging on your every word" ... and I'm like "Hello ... get a life and stop trailing after me"

You know?

Enough of this nonsense, seriously.

You wanna say the horse is overhyped? Awesome. But don't make a thread whose sole purpose is to bait other members of this board.

All of this garbage can fit in the "Fog is a Fraud" thread, which is already plenty redundant.
