I've not followed who Beyer preferred in the Derby and the Preakness, but if I know him ... it wasn't California Chrome in either and it won't be CC in The Belmont either ...
I think we ALL know where he's coming from when he writes ... and it's not from objectivity ... just his usual East Coast bias BS ... His point of view means nothing when it comes to giving real value or credit to a West Coast horse. In fact, the less credit he gives to a top performing West Coaster ... the better that horse likely is.
I, personally, am very pro-West Coast and make no bones about it ... but when it comes to picking a race, I'm picking the horse I honestly think will win regardless of coast ... I thought Rachel was one of the most over-rated horses I'd ever seen(of top performers, that is), but when it came to her Preakness I SINGLED her on top of my Superfecta and got paid very handsomely for doing so.
I dropped MY bias and I got paid. I NEVER handicap from a West Coast bias standpoint. I personally support and love horses from one though ... but don't pick them from one.
Beyer would do well top drop his bias at the door when it comes to his public missives. Not doing so in such obvious situations like CC and Zenyatta just makes him continue to look like the fool he is.
