Default Contessa on Tu Brutus
Think this horse may turn out to be our best South American import since Invasor.

Nice horse, but Arrogate will beat him easily.

You think he's the second best horse in training, or the second best you've seen?

Possibly in training. Potentially loaded division with Connect, Gun Runner, Mor Spirit and the big guy.

He's just a really neat horse. I don't think anyone sane has illusions of him beating the best horses in the country, but that doesn't mean you can't like him.

I remembered him. He's probably a cut below, but he is improving and could win a few big races while Arrogate is resting.

He is very good. He's also getting too much praise thus far.

Nobody in the media, true, but people on here and on other avenues have and I extrapolated it to be more widespread than it actually is.

Yeah, I overstated the situation. However, between posts on here (including his previous start) and private conversations, there seems to be a trend over estimating him.

Just ask RHT.

A lot of backpedaling that could've been avoided by just not being a dick in the first place.

Saying I disagree with those who think he's better than I think he is makes me a Dick?

As for backpedaling, two people pointed out that I was out of line with my assertion that too many people over rate him. I agreed with them, instead of uselessly defending my position. If that's backpedaling, so be it.
