Jim, the only point I made after the race was that there was nothing in the RESULT of the Travers which would indicate LH couldn't get the distance, given that a) he spit it out before going a mile, and b) broke a leg. My point is that the results are NOT indicative, not that they prove anyone's opinion right. And that's the larger point as well-- the results of a race or a card are not indicative, especially in terms of the analysis, especially since unlike the public handicappers you mention we are not trying to pick winners, but find overlays-- we often will bet (and put up in the analysis) the second or third most likely winner of the race. This is a game of percentages-- you won't see a whole lot of definitive statements coming from me along the lines of "this horse will win", either in ROTW or here.

It is my site, and I'm selling a product and the thinking that goes with it, but I am open to others expressing opposing views here. You want to see opinionated, there are a couple of guys on 11th st. you should meet.
