The Concensus Gentium is more important in Political Science, Religion, Politics, etc as it is a collection of the masses of peoples thoughts on a particular subject. It has some place in sports as well albiet sports are much less important. 8,000 people were in the horse trainer colony in the 1960`s and not a one said either Buckpasser, Dr. Fager or Damascus was the best horse ever. Maybe they weren`t at that. More importantly individual opinions carry much less weight and prove nothing. To give an opinion about a real or imaginary is tipping and touting and tips and touts are wrong 7 times in 9 every day at every race track in America. There are no certanties in racing. It is a most uncertain game at best. Just because one runs in human races does not mean he can tell the outcome of a horse race: far from it!! He would be as fallible as all of us are. If horses never raced against each other there is no proof as to which will win a race together. The horses past records do not prove he will win in the future no matter how good the horse looks on paper.
