Nice to see you're still going on about it.
I have a lot to learn, regardless of his previous trips like others have said his form has been getting better and better. I thought the race would set up nice for him to close, and I got lucky. You act like he is a dog who ran against all stars and got lucky enough to have that perfect trip. Douglas on him was also a huge plus for me.

with the turf division as wide open as it is, and it is WIDE OPEN....... dancing has to be considered a top 3, in his division, einstein is poorly handled and i belive dancing still has some room to improve.

Commentator has taken a horrific tumble on his list. If I recall he said has said that Commentator is the best dirt horse in the US or the world. All he does is come second to Divine Park and he falls to fourth, and what about Divine Park? if he conquered the best horse in the country doesn't he deserve at least honorable mention?
