Thanks Peter. That was it. I remember being stupid enough to bet him coming east in the Jockey Club Gold Cup off his Delmar win and allowing Albert the Great to go off around 6-1 in the race and win easily over Skimming and an "over the top" Lemon Drop Kid, I believe.
That was the 3 year old crop that Albert was part of that took either top 4 or 5 spots in the BC Classic. Tiznow, Giants Causeway, Captain Stephen, Albert the Great and Fusaichi Pegasus.
Class,
I didn't say you analyze the trip and the figure together. I would say you "over-analyze" the trip and pace in respect to the fig, similar to Clown. You two both liked Bellamy Road's Derby and killed his Wood. That shoud be enough said, right there. If you always discount the wins and give more credit to the losses, you just wind up with a bunch of horses running "decently", all the time. I read this regularly on this board, repeatedly, from both of you. It is your opinion and you can post it again and again, but that doesn't make it right. Sometimes a good race is a good race, period. Leroides race was good last week, despite what Clown said. For you to call Super Frolic's last race his lifetime best is ridiculous. I am not saying his race sucked, but it was no lifetime best. To me, that is a classic example of your over-analysis and over-compensating. He ran into a pretty quick pace and maybe it cost him a couple lengths. Maybe. Maybe the "2" is closer to a "1". But his top is negative 1 and change.
