Every trainer I've talked to on the West Coast agrees that Hancock's comments were completely out of line. If every trainer can see it, I'd think they know what they're talking about, so you guys are all saying you know more than them?

:tro:

do you mean this part?


I know what you mean ;)

I guess you spoke to every trainer on the West Coast???;)

This is an emotional issue with Zenyatta fans. I like her and I'm sorry she got nosed out at the wire, but she lost - it's as simple as that. A win in the BCC was supposed to decide HOY for QR, Zenyatta, LaL, and Blame. Now what is it? Oh, it doesn't count because Zenyatta lost. It's now subject to debate?

There was absolutely nothing amiss with the Seth Hancock post BCC race interview. His voice was shaking, and he gave great praise to the mare. Anyone finding fault with how he conducted himself is doing so out of desperation.

I believe the voters for HOY will do the right thing, and whatever they do will be the right thing. There's no need to go on these witch hunts.

Too bad. Did she ever manage to collect any more trophies?

Why is it that the focus is always on the Zenyattards? Nobody with a brain is making (or has made) outlandish claims about the mare. Of course, nobody with a brain is picking QR to win the Classic, either. Or making the ridiculous claim that Z wouldn't hit the board in the Classic -- or that Blind Luck is a better closer. Of course, these claims weren't put forth by the opposition equivalents to the Ztards but by supposedly VERY VERY knowledgeable horseplayers.

When you hold such beliefs, and you're proven ridiculously WRONG, the only recourse is to come after the Zenyattards. After all, those holding them have been LAUGHABLY discredited for any of the non TARD Z supporters; and just about everyone else, for that matter.

When you're DRUGS, for example, and you're Classic pick is the same as Mike the EUNUCH's (arguably #1 Z basher) or Tom's (#1 alltime for money spent on other people's ideas/programs) or RH10':rolleyes:, it sort of puts things in perspective. ha ha ha

If you're a BEYERITE, you're feeling vindicated by the head win. Empowered even. If you thought that Blind Luck was BETTeR than Z, like one of our more prominent Fig makers, you're putting your woeful trip handicapping/intuitive pace comprehension skills on display by claiming that Z got a perfect trip and Fly Down got the worst of it.

Whatever gets you through the day.:rolleyes:

It all makes for some nice comic relief.

People are this crazy. Logic and common sense gets thrown out the window. What owners say after race is about as solid as what trainers say after a race. Lasix allergy anyone after the 45th time getting it?

A very unbias bunch to talk to and sure it was a large sample size

I don't know who you are talking to--perhaps the voices in your head?

The only thing I can say for sure is that anyone who took that ridiculously low price on Zenyatta on the Classic doesn't know the first frigging thing about betting the races. If somebody wanted to make her the most likely winner--OK, the was certainly within the range of reasonableness. And she almost did win (a polite way of saying she lost). But it took a certain kind of imbecile to gag down the price she was being offered at. If you are that kind of imbecile, hey, more power to you--I took some of your money home. Hopefully no one is counting on ever inheriting a cent from you.

I guess someone had to win the Missing the Point Award for the night.

You won an award? Congratulations! :tro: :D

He's not allowed cause he's not a Zenyattard.

Touche. But I already got a trophy from DaHoss, so I already won mine. Awarding one for the night was the next step :D
