You're putting words in people's mouths EC1. You've suggested that CH is a good marker horse, and Luke has made an oblique point to advertise the opinion that the horse is regressive. That may or may not be so, but it doesn't amount to what you've said in the post above. Horses like CH are poor markers imo for the reason that they retain plenty of ability, but not to the degree they had before, so there will be slippage in performance which make treating them as reliable yardsticks dubious. The tangent about CH's next win was just that, and understood by most accordingly.

You're one of the most original thinkers on the forum, and I'm sure most of us echo that, but you're being a tad precious here.

[QUOTE="rorydelargy, post: 2280946, member: 65226"] You're putting words in people's mouths EC1.
