Believe me, BT -- I feel exactly the same about this discussion as you do.
Me: Pulling Z in favor of Gorz and Silva based on 2 starts is short-sighted.
BT: It wasn't based on 2 starts. Hendry explicitly said he looked at Z's previous 50.
Me: So he looked at Z's previous 50, but ignored Silva and Gorz's previous 50?
BT: They didn't have to look at Silva and Gorz's previous 50. They were lights-out in April and Z sucked.
Me: Well, that's short-sighted of them. How can you pull Z after less than a handful of starts when his track record is so much better than Silva and Gorz's?
BT: I've told you 7 times already, Butch. Why can't you get this? Hendry SAID that he looked at Z's last 50 starts.
and so on.
