Ok, we've gotten to the bottom of it now. Your bitterness is toward ME. That's ok, I have thick skin. You don't know the first thing about me, your ego has built an impression of me and since it's so fucking big, you can't see past it. I'm not going to justify my love of horses and racing, think what you like about my interest in horses.
At what point have I ever claimed to be in the know? You seriously think I post things for self appreciation? I couldn't give two shits, I really couldn't. I post things because im told them, do you honestly have a problem with that notion? This isn't the transfer forum, I'd have thought were all a bit above that in here. I'm seriously at a loss to understand why you would think I post on here to impress. You are beyond belief.
Your lack of knowledge and sizeable ego have clouded your judgment. If you want to believe trainers don't run horses over the wrong trip and ground for fitness and educational purposes then go ahead and think that. The reality is different. I'll play devils advocate for a second, knowing Collateral's optimum conditions are 1m on soft ground (and anyone with basic racing knowledge or the ability to read a horses form will confirm that) why would he be entered in a race like this, with peanuts prize money, in totally the wrong conditions? What other reason then getting a run into him can you give for that decision?
I was quite prepared to move to PM, but actually, what you want me to do means absolutely nothing on here so I'll continue to post as normal. If you have a problem with that, foe me.
Literally shaking my head in disbelief. I'm actually insulted. You've spent too much time in the transfer forum.

i know less about racing than the pair of you but i can see this turning sour so cut the fucking squabbling so that the rest can enjoy the thread.
I've said my peace in defence, nothing more.
