First of all....isn't it fairly obvious that most of what BB says is, at least somewhat, tongue-in-cheek?

But, LITF's " knockers " were basically correct. The simple fact is that he is nowhere near as good as his cheering section would make people believe. I applaud his owners, they danced all the dances all over the country, and it is not their fault there was no competition. And, LITF is a very nice horse who performed admirably, but his actual performances were in severe contrast to the massive adulation he recieved. He was a good horse but in no means some kind of super horse.

Other than finally meeting decent horses, what, praytell, was his " valid " excuse in the BC? It seems horses that unsurprisingly disappoint always have some mysterious excuse.

And I do give Bold credit for sticking his neck out and making a prediction about a horse. I do that, but 99.9% of the time, I'm wrong!

Agreed, most of the time someone will be wrong. Its the other times that give us that sense of satisfaction and keep us coming back.
I will only rip and tear into someone on here who "gurantees" that so and so won't win this race or that race or a race, etc. Thats just so cowardly as to be hysterical. It basically gives you every other horse in the race to root for and I have a hard time giving kudos to anyone who expects them for being right on such a cowardly statement. But I do delight in the embarassment of folks who make those cowardly statements and then end up being wrong.

I'll stand by that record ... and welcome documentation from others about the results of their long-range predictions.

Redboarders ... however ... can keep their own counsel. Oracle, Randall, and Tony have done a very good job of making that quite clear.

Maybe. I went over to your other board and saw you predicted that Barbaro had no chance in the Derby and he won. You stated Funny Cide couldn't win an open graded race anymore and he in fact won one on Saturday, yes it was in Canada and the field was not good, but it was an open graded race. Just as it's too early to throw in the towel on Mayan King it is too early to state the end of Lost in the Fog as well. The only dead on ones I saw are Songster and Bernardini. The others, not so much.

No, that would be the librarian thread in the OT area. That one has been all over the map and back again.
