rachel was a phenom in '09. not sure why you think last years accolades have anything to do with this year. but then, that question has been posed to you 347 different ways, and you haven't answered it yet.

It must be really depressing to be a diehard Zenyatta fan to the point where you can't appreciate the mare on her own and every discussion had about the horse you love can only happen by disparaging another horse.

It has to be a really pitiful feeling to know that you can't even love a horse without having to use another one in reference to her all the time.

Stack that on top of all those sour grapes from January and it's got to be a really dark place.

Just one final question for the RA fans:


Will she actually win a race before we reach the halfway point in the season????? :D

I also read quite a bit of his work when I first got into the game. I respect him for what he did and for continuing to write insightfully about the game. But I don't presently respect his opinion nor his position regarding change. His trip handicapping is average, at best; and he was FORCED, finally, to admit that his synthetic figures were, basically, USELESS, by having to ad hoc TWEAK THEM. Before doing so, however, he (and his crew) felt the need to trash POLY horses -- it wasn't his figures but the horses. All of a sudden, BEYERITES became the defenders of DIRT. This would be fine if it wasn't so self serving. In the meantime, with so many POLY horses crossing over and beating DIRT horses on their surface, and his poor opinion of Z, he's on the brink of getting exposed.

BEYER == DIRT DEFENDER

Brian, Considering all the posts we could dig up last year after the Woodward including some that I am sure belong to you, I think Zenyatta fans are behaving quite admirally this year.

Alright, I'll give it a rest (before SB boots my azz out of here).

In the middle of a HOY battle, yes, certainly the two would need to be discussed in reference to one another. You're not going to shock anyone by digging up posts.

It's the fact that five months into 2010, Zenyatta fans apparently aren't confident enough with her record and performances standing on their own merits, because they are never able to discuss her without trashing Rachel. If the only way you can build up Zenyatta is by trashing Rachel, then she's not as special as you claim she is, because otherwise you'd be able to let her body of work speak for itself.

And you have certainly not proven capable of doing that. Oh well.

As soon as DrugS comes back, and once they get settled over at PID (I don't have the time to do all the charts for last year's meet), I was going to engage him in some plays there. You're more than welcome to join us. I invited Nick but he was too busy trying to figure out why Z's connections were taking such a conservative path WHILE, nonetheless, acknowledging that he thought she was a very nice mare, to join us. Hopefully, being my 2nd choice won't stand in your way. :rolleyes:
