As the serious cappers hone their opinions and ratchet up their conviction, I reflect on the naive perspective.
Reminiscent of Taste of New York who combined with a couple of California (no faster than several other) derby contestants and (as a group) sort of ran away from all others in the Breeders Cup Classic.
To date one voice touting Mubtaahij (ACE) and he is biased. But the horses only knocks are 1) those who claim to know say international horses running for big money are slow, 2) the raw times in the desert don't compare to drought plagued Southern California.
So I consulted Steven Hawkins, who wanted to text about fabric and space also. In the end I became convinced time wasn't what I thought it was. I concluded Mubtaahij would probably be the horse running the fastest at the end of the race. I couldn't figure out where he would finish but I think that one quality gives him a big edge over most the others.
Since Toast Of New York didn't run last year I will most likely play Mubtaahij this year if I find out what the word means?
