I don't think objecting to her being called better than Secretariat makes you a hater. I think it makes you a realist and someone with a brain. Saying the bolded over and over again doesn't make it any truer and doesn't make being this much of a Zenyatta shill any more virtuous.

I'm buddies with Jon White too. I'm excited to hear if he's heard anything.

Better check out the esoteric forum for that info

It's kinda like calling Mike Lombardi an NFL insider.

Zenyatta is not better than Secretariat! I never thought she was. Any real fan of racing knows she's not. My point was that people hated that she was considered that great - which I don't - to the point that they called her a terrible horse. She's not. I'm a Zenyatta fan who is a realist. I see her for what she is. It's a shame that the Zenyattards don't understand racing.

No, you made that up. Show me one person who called her a terrible horse. Otherwise I'm going to have to ask that you retract that statement.

Zenyatta is great. And she should be brought Back! So Should Blame! But it's too late with him he's retired

Who wouldn't?

smartbid09 11-08-2010 03:51 PM

Zenyatta is one of the Greatest of all time. And IMO she is the greatest female racehorse ever to step foot on the track. She shouldn't be retired and that's that. Unless she's not moving forward I would love to see one of the greatest run again next year.

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been following the sport?

I'm still waiting. Show me one person who said she's a terrible horse.

I dont recall anyone ever saying that.
As a fan do you want her to retire or comeback?

I want that statement retracted before I go any further. Unless he/she can produce a quote of someone saying she's a terrible horse.

As a fan of horse racing I want her back if they will take some chances... **** even if its the Gold Cup and Pacific Classic at home for her. I dont want her back running the same 2 campaigns from 2009 and 2010.
