This might be the stupidest post I have ever seen on the internet....and that's saying something.

Now there are three things Zen and her little bro have in common.

1. Same dam.
2. Both currently undefeated.
3. Both have retarded fans.

Balance was pretty good even early on in her career.

Hard to believe a Thunder Gulch half to Zenyatta could sprint as well as she did. Her best Beyer came on synthetic - but she was also 0-for-3 on it, losing to Nashoba's Key all three times.

Here's a form for Zenyatta's oldest sibling ... a mare sired by Aljabar who sold as a yearling for just 4K. Won its debut at Retama Park.

It isn't shown there, but I think she went off favored in the KY Oaks (Lemons Forever year.)

I have less of an issue with the precocity of the Vertigineux side as I do with the sire, and even more so with the trainer who is practically incompetent with firsters considering how many he gets that are bred well to be early winners. That said, I don't like anyone else in here.

Not surprising at all. Thunder Gulch's sire was a pure sprinter that was lucky to get 7.

You are to Balance what Smooth Operator and CSC are to Zenyatta.

I never could figure out why you loved that mare so much.

I forgot about the Ashland race, Bushfire crushed her on a very speed favoring dirt track. I shouldn't have, both those races were extremely profitable for me betting against her.

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to go to sleep.

It's worse when they're yours and you see them before they are darted.

Stevie...yesterday I told Randy, in this thread-- mind you, that if he answers RhNegative10....I would be disappointed.




It seems to be absent today.

It's a good place to be!!!

Remember always listen to the Cheshire Cat and or the Catepillar, words of wisdom just float off their tongues.

"We're all mad here"

Hey why did this thread get banished to the rabbit hole anyway, guess I missed a lot.

Don't you think Zen is reached in the rabbit hole?

OK then..10-4.

It got downgraded because it's an RhNegative 10 thread.
