While there\'s no question SJ is the best 3 year old in America, to compare him to the great champions of the past is ludicrous. While I understand that T-graph is about assigning figures, it is based on the theory that all things are relative. The fact of the matter is that SJ ran 2:04 for a mile and a quarter. Hardly one of the best ever, regardless of the track condition, regardless of what the other horses did. SJ is a very good horse who is beating one of the worst 3-year crops ever. LH is the only horse with any natural speed to speak of (maybe Purge). The rest are just plain slow. Too many :47\'s and 1:12\'s in their fractions to even consider them being good horses. SJ has caught a weak bunch every race and has gotten a dream trip every time he\'s run, partly due to his talent and mostly due to his competition. He\'s never run in a race with a horse that has had anything close to his running style, which makes winning that much easier. He\'s beating speed horses that can\'t handle the distance or horses that run so slow early they have no chance of ever getting to him. He\'s never dueled with anyone for more than a quarter, he\'s never gotten caught wide or forced to check or steadied between horses. You say the parks closed and I say it\'s open...And another thing...legal animal nutrition is so far ahead of what it was even ten years ago that one has to wonder what the great ones could have run if they could have been fed more than oats and water.

Ask the Experts / Re: Update. Previous Fixes./innocent?

Isn\'t one considered innocent until proven guilty in most areas of this country? Did anyone ever stop to consider:
A. While the suspect was initially trying to fix the pick six when he entered the first four singles, he actually picked the correct numbers?
B. In a bizarre hazing ritual at Drexel, the two were forced to spend an evening with Andrew Beyer, and therefore legitimately handicapped these races?
Think about it.
CNN just reported that the lead investigator at the FBI\'s fraud/gaming unit (David Furman) once uttered the phrase \"computer geek\" which would invalidate any and all evidence collected...
