Default This always seems odd to me! - but Im very very guilty of doing it!!

For example, many believe that Dahlia was a much better racemare than Allez France but in head to heads, lost 6-0. There are loads more examples like that. Its very strange, even when horse A has been beaten by horse B (sometimes on numerous occasions!), we still think horse A is better!!

not quite that, but lets take Skimming who on head to heads with Tiznow is 2-0 (apologies if wrong here but Skimming beat Tiz in both the 2000 Pacific Classic and 2001 Goodwood Handicap!!) but not in a million years would be considered the better horse!

Where you at this week anyways?

The coast of Dafar? Ice fishing in the Weddell Sea? Perhaps you are in Perth hoping for Australian citizenship...

I figured since America denied you citizenship, Australia was your next choice
