Bugs and windshields aside Rob I did not intend to single you out and am sorry if you took it that way.
I suspect your apparent angst concerns Bayern a horse you were high on a few weeks ago going a flat mile at Belmont in a grade one. I posted the colts chances as \"very slim\" and it was labeled an assertion. In hindsight, I should have included the \"fact\" that in his comebacker in Louisville, Derby w/end, that the colt was perhaps a hundred pounds overweight. His chance of being fit for his next was well, very slim.
As for my many misinformed statements you\'re entitled to your opinion.
JB, Horses are claustrophobic and first blinkers while drawing inside is never good. Not much else to say on that tenet; though perhaps they win at two or three percent.
As for the turf rail, again hardly a secret. As the rail moves out more of the race (at most tracks) is run on turns, hence the pace is slower which does not favor deep closers and they seldom win.
As for small barns drawing outside I should have posted that this tenet mostly applies to the first time they attempt a route. By definition small barns are short on workmates and their horses by drawing outside are in quite unfamiliar circumstances.
No doubt someone will post sooner or later (probably the latter) that some horse overcame these difficult circumstances and won. There are few absolutes in \'capping.
My main point in posting is the newer players are using a microwave approach and within a short time they leave the game. Breeze figs, formulator facts, anything bris puts out, and lastly your competitor\'s ridiculous assumption that there are such items as conditioning moves are just a few examples that sadly players trying to learn the game take as gospel. bbb
