Confident as I can be without knowing for sure.
That make sense?

I promised myself a lie down. Time to honour that promise

[Carnage at Taunton]

Define pretty confident…coz that sounds pretty vague you’re guessing right and playing your old tapes hoping that the only reason the new tapes sound any different is because they haven’t been put in the super duper tape deck yet.

I thought it was an interesting read.
Not really been one to wager on timings in different races though, but interesting anyway.

Ive never had any doubts about CH going at a decent pace, think he’s pretty much always done that.
I saw enough this season from him and his rivals to be pretty confident he can cope with whatever is thrown at him.

Said like someone who actually reads the terms and conditions rather than just tick the little box.
Good on you

Make him wipe his own arse I'd say.

Luckily I’ve just finished eating before seeing this
Although was soon going to have a banana, might have to hold off that for a bit.

Apology accepted

[Quevega]

Lobos asked whether horses could go the pace, so felt it would be remiss of me to not provide some sort of evidence, rather than just agreeing.

What statements we choose to back up is surely up to the individual?

[ComplyOrDie]

I'd go with pointless rather than daft.
Although they kind of go hand in hand in some instances.
Some statements don't need backing up Cod.

"Hitler was a bad man"

To back that up, here's a list of all the Jews he murdered..............

If I had just said that and not backed it up showing some race speeds I would have felt 'daft' Not to mention it would have felt a bit half arsed

Forcing no one to read it either

Cheers COD. CH can absolutely go that pace then all the way no problem. Still to find out re Lossiemouth and SM.

Sorry, please accept my apologies ComplyOrDie.
It appears someone did need it backing up
As you were.

[Rooster Booster]

Surely the first sentence of my reply responded directly to your point ?

Not even close in fact it reenforces it ….now im going for a lie down

You haven’t responded directly to my point which is a little disappointing considering how frustrated you get when others do that to you.

This is what you said in your post.

So while it may appear to some Constitution Hill isn’t at his peak , to me he has not done anything to suggest otherwise and he’ll batter them all

The first half of your sentence implies heavily that you feel he is still at his peak (otherwise why distinguish yourself from the ‘some’ you mention) to which I comment he hasn’t shown any evidence of still being at that level for two years therefore it would require blind faith to assume he still is(that is the literal definition of blind faith) I.e. believing something to be true despite no evidence.

The second half of your sentence clearly implies that because he hasn’t definitively proven he is not at his peak then it should be assumed he is. This is why I said the absence of a negative does not prove a positive.

Rather than responding to these two points specifically you chose to respond by giving your reason why you think he will win. I never said he wouldn’t did I? I think he still deserves to be favourite but I think if BDA pitches up and replicates her most recent run he will need to be very close to his peak to beat her and we have had no evidence to say he is for two years. That is a fact. Assuming he is still at his peak is not a fact it’s a guess and a guess that is held as strongly as yours despite no concrete evidence is exactly what blind faith is.

Surely the first sentence of my reply responded directly to your point ?

I'd have stopped their Cod.
Hope you cut and pasted.
