He was just responding to why he felt AP was the best horse, and I agree with him. Chuckles hates to be wrong, so will come up with ridiculous points even when he is wrong. I read a similar rant when Bodemeister lost the Derby, Smith rode a poor race and should have taken back. With a pure speed horse. Brilliant.
Materiality no foundation off a very fast race, Upstart was sick. Those are facts, and aren't exactly the preparation you want going into the Derby.
Mentioning the FrontRunner was accurate, AP beat 3 very nice colts.
People can make any excuse they want after a loss, it helps them deal with being wrong. It doesn't necessarily mean that the excuses were the reason for a loss.
AP may not win 95 out of 100, just hyperbole. His point is the best horse won, and would win more than any other horse. Hard to argue that after watching what he has done over his career.
Many reasons a horse doesn't fire his best fig in a race, but that doesn't mean they should have won.
