Sorry forgot to explain why I said all that - Kane Smytzer was an obvious example of a horse with problems who had lengths of ability on that field. Assuming that it's recent bad form (ie two runs so far this prep, only two last prep) were indicative of it's TOTAL ability is like writing off Michael Jordan when he has a bad run.

(OK OK that's an exaggeration, but to quote someone else (can't remember who this time, and yes I am aware that I am using a second set of brackets inside the first right now (and I don't care (and why should I (I shouldn't)))) "Paint the truth in blood.")
