Are they betting? Will they pay attention more than 1-2 days a year to racing? It's highly unlikely.

It's nice for regular people to care about things we care about, but those people aren't likely to make a meaningful difference to the sport.

This was on the Zenyatta facebook page...I wouldn't be surprised if someone corrects him and he takes it down but...it's funny for now lolololol

He'll blow you as soon as you 'come' around to becoming a Zenyattard.

If she manages it, she'll do what Secretariat apparently could've done if he'd raced at 4 according to the quote attributed to (then disclaimed by) Secretariat's screenwriter. Well, we do know nobody's ever done it. :o

i'm still waiting for the first person to ask me about her. even my family members haven't said a peep.

Or any other race horse or race, which is too bad.

DONE

I know one of them definitely is, cause he said to me..."all this hype for a horse, I think I could probably make some money going against her..." then proceeded to give me money to bet for him, against Z.

great signature, danzig. i'm glad someone else saw the hilarity in what that fool was saying.......or not saying.......or trying to say!

IC & Coach I know you prefer www.redtube.com but this might also work for you :p

At four minutes and 23 seconds, what's the over/under on how many times Smooth Operator and CSC1985 can blow their loads in one entire play through of that video?

I'm going to say 19 for CSC1985 and 20 for the only fan of Sade left in existence.

I can't get The Independent to load, but saw this at the Paulick Report:

Chris McGrath of The Independent, reporting from Churchill Downs, observes a certain euphoric fear surrounding the hype of undefeated Zenyatta.

"With her immaculate record, defeat in the Breeders’ Cup Classic would feel like the violation of a vestal. And as the hour approaches, the euphoria she has brought to the American sport is complicated by a contagious frisson of fear."

:rolleyes:

ETA: Finally got the page to load. US racing holds breath before one last cry of 'Go Zenyatta'

I guess you answered there question with "If you want to see real horses watch Tam Lin every 3 days at Meydan"

thats not true. friends and family know about the dt horses so they ask about them. also. spring classic horses get asked about. thats why i mentioned the lack of zenyatta questions. matter of fact, a coworker is friends with a trainer, the head honcho follows racing....he even mentioned that we made the new keeneland poles. weve talked about racing, tracks weve been to, etc.

thanks

Zenyatta will remain unbeaten after Saturday..................on synthetics.

By what logic on this planet would Zenyatta not be considered a great race horse if she wins the race on Saturday? I'm mystified by that. Sure, she could lose and she may hate the Churchill dirt. It's nearly impossible for me to post in the racing forum, but it's pretty comical. I can guarantee you if Z happens to win this race within 0.3 seconds after the race will come the first post on how it was a horrible Classic field by standards and it was completely meaningless. And it logically follows that the person who posts that first should absolutely be betting her with both fists if that is indeed the case.

Who was saying it's going to be a great Classic?

They only know about the DT claimers because you talk about them.
