From espnuk

"Goldikova, who went off as the 6-5 favorite with her two pacesetting stablemates, Only Green and Saying, has always had the seven-furlong Prix de la Foret on Oct. 3 set as her final trial for a third consecutive Breeders' Cup Mile title. Clearly, however, she will want to avoid soft ground in the future as that sort of going takes the sting out of her vaunted acceleration."

They set her up nice, as she did all the drafting she'd want until she was ready to run in the stretch. Then she got RUN DOWN by a last mover. Now, that's irony. :rolleyes:

Guess Princess not only needs to be escorted by windbreakers but she also needs to last move the field. Yeah, I realize she didn't like the going :rolleyes:
and has run some nice races.

Wonder what her record would be in PACELESS races against TIN CANS, WITHOUT her rabbits?

Smooth Operator 08-15-2010 06:22 PM

Oh my … something tells me there wouldn't be quite as much chatter about Goldilocks if that were the case…

Oh man, I can't wait till Zenyatta gets USCed in the BC Classic this year on a dirt track...

You see unlike fake dirt aka rubber aka synthetic tracks, turf and dirt have different conditions which affect the ground and some horses don't handle soft ground or sloppy tracks as well as they do good to firm turf or fast dirt...but I understand your a little slow and not the brightest bulb out there, so I am happy to explain it to you.

Where is Coach Pants with that popcorn icon when you need him.

Goldikova won 2 BC Miles without her "rabbits." She's an all time great no matter how she does the rest of the season.

Smooth Operator 08-15-2010 07:22 PM

Ah, so nice of you to drop by and enlighten us, Jersey boy


Now could you please splain to me what happened to the superfast QR last week?

no, because she's lost.

the best runners ever evidently are zenyatta, colin, candy ride and danzig, as none have lost. secretariat, man o war, dr fager ,etc. none as good as the undefeateds. you silly, you.

She'll drown at CD this year…

Goldikova also ran on 2 weeks rest... (not that it's an excuse, just a fact) imagine that for a champion race horse to do...

I can't believe you've fallen in with the Zenyattards.

What about Pepper's Pride????????

I am not a Quality Road blowhard, but lets see, didn't run his best race apparently, but whoops, he still ran FASTER than Zenyatta when he didn't fire his best.

By the way, when's the last time you have picked a winner...I would guess the Hirsch stakes and I'll bet you had Zenyatta.

Smooth Operator has only bet 18 times in his life. 3-5 odds are juicy in his world.

Actually it was 10 times. He was distracted by the Reggie Bush scandal before he realized Zenyatta was pretty good.

Wonder if he returned his mini-Smooth operator-Heisman too?
