nothing anyone says will convince me he wont have a huge year this year, and that he could be still the best horse in the world.

I think everybody agree's that he has the potential to have a very good year, as long as he is not challenged at the front end (which we also all know will not happen).

You claim to want to listen to peoples advice on here and become a better handicapper, and then you post something like this? Doesn't seem like you are taking in what others have to say.

Sure it's fair. Learn to rate. Good horses do it. If anything, it's not fair to the rabbits.

you're not making any sense - first he's the best horse in the galaxy (right in front of his cousin cowboy cal) - and then he's just an old, ny bred, gelding. . . if he's as good as you say he is then why shouldn't trainers find a way to compromise him?

he is INCREDIBLY fast in the right situation- like maybe in a workout or with a loose lead or something- but in real races he always spits the bit. . . that's why he's not great

So knowing that Commentator will likely be gone if he's loose on the lead, the connections of other horses should just let him go?

If Commentator can't rate, THAT'S A MAJOR FLAW, and that's his problem, not that of the other owners or trainers. Their jobs are to win the race, not run second because it's "bad for the game" not to let a one-dimensional speed horse win every race he enters.

I thought what Dutrow did was excessive, but the premise isn't unethical. It's smart.
