Just a thought but maybe it's time to go through your closet and throw away the Zenyatta costume.

Well Said!!

Are you suggesting that be the next track gimmick?

said the guy who inserts a post about zenyatta into a thread not about zenyatta after only two posts discussing track gimmicks. who then posts many pictures of the very people he disdains into the same thread.


perfectly sane, rational and logical. keep fighting the good fight against tiresome zenyatta idiots, dell. you're doing a great job so far. why, the rest of the thread readers might never have thought about the horse and her idiot fans if not for you.

It's tiresome, it's embarrassing and it's stupid.

That was my reaction, too.

The hoss and her idiot fans ?
What about her bigger idiot haters. All the hoss does is pass every hoss she ever ran against except Blame. (Almost though). Took on all comers,. Broke the spirit of any filly who tried her. Beat the boys, even when Gio Ponti got a huge jump on her. Came to Oaklawn and scared Rachel into retirement. The biggest kick is that none of you jokers ever admitted you were wrong.

I bet that Most of you thought Easy Goer was better than Sunday Silence. Which he wasn't. And the Alydar was better than Affirmed. which he wasn't.

I remember all those Sunday Silence and Affirmed fans dressing like idiots.

Not

Zenyatta was a great horse. Too bad some of her fans thought she was the all-time best. Of course to many they were comparing her to the horse in front of the grocery store you pay a quarter to ride.

Z Fan"$2 to show on Zenyatta"

Teller "what number is she?"

Z fan "what number? I want to bet Zenyatta"

Teller "what number is she in the program?"

Z fan "what's a program?"

sounds more like the "tellers" at saratoga.

i sincerely apologize for my post being misleading....it wasn't an attempt to have a zenyatta discussion. i'll try harder in future to have more clarity when i post.

Danzig 07-13-2013 09:43 AM

sightseek, i would suggest another attempt at the thread. this one seems to have veered so far off course i don't know that it can be saved...

Fitting as most track gimmicks are gone as well.

Except clowns and pony rides at Arlington.

I had you tagged for loving the Burka contest on MWA day.;):D

Alabama Stakes 07-13-2013 10:15 AM

when we had Kool and the Gang at suffolk last year, the place was mobbed.

Military Appreciation Day at Arlington where all surviving Medal of Honor recipients are invited and most show is hard to beat. But not sure it qualifies as a gimmick.

Now that's well said.

Danzig 07-13-2013 11:52 AM

ty, rev.


military appreciation day is a good idea. tracks could expand that to other groups as well. police and fire depts, emergency responders, teachers would all be good. arlington (for example) could try to get with the nfl,nba, nhl teams to have fan appreciation days. anything to draw in folks...

Sightseek 07-13-2013 01:48 PM

I positively hate "Ladies Day" at the track.

The Rachel line aside, this was a nice one too. :tro:

Hate the idea of "ladies day" as well, Sighty.
