A few days ago, on Twitter, I misunderstood a tweet about journalists to be about lawyers, and said something that was totally stupid as a result. And again, I said I was wrong.
Those are just in the last few days. I get stuff wrong all the time.
Here's some more stuff I got wrong:
1. I thought when businesses would be forced to shut back down in the fall and winter, this would include shutting down sports. So I predicted the Derby and BC would not happen. I was wrong. They did.
2. I didn't think that the local California tracks would be able to get the death numbers down by redesigning their dirt tracks. They have done so. (Let's cross our fingers this continues!)
3. I thought Maximum Security would go down the tubes after he switched barns. He isn't quite as good, but he still won a Grade I race for Baffert and is very competitive.
That's just stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Stuff I was dead, dead wrong about. I am sure there is plenty more.
So, no, your supposition that I can't admit I am wrong is incorrect.

You were wrong about NYRA running at Saratoga too.
Looks like Andy was right about the never right stuff. I guess we can put this one to bed now. Good talk.
