The injury or race?

The race.. Rachel has a lot of work to do to get back to where she was.. Sometimes they dont come back the way they left?

Well at least those that did'nt get a chance to get the free poster on Dec.26th still have another chance :)

Just 6 days ago:

"Jerry Moss, who owns Zenyatta with his wife, Ann, reiterated that “nothing has changed” regarding Zenyatta as he watched Shirreffs saddle Neko Bay shortly before the San Pasqual Handicap (gr. II) at Santa Anita Jan. 9."

Glad they changed their minds...(at least for this week.)

Why? I don't like the connections involved. I don't wish good luck for them.

Big Mama gunna take a road trip to Arky… :cool:

If they meet before the fall, it is going to be in the La Troienne on the Oaks card.

Actually you do, Moss is about to race a 6 year old mare that won the BC Classic and is undefeated. Ok the 09 campaign was Bull Shat other then the Classic but they still raced her in the Classic. Now Mr and Mrs. figure watching Zenyatta win lose or draw is better then waiting 3 years till her foal hopefully trys to accomplish what she can and will.. I am a Rachel guy I think she is the single most electric filly ever BUT you have to respect Zenyatta and hope she continues her winning ways..

No I don't. My disdain for Jerry Moss has multiplied to the point that if I could give birth to gremlins I would reproduce enough of them to kill every douchebag rich guy with no testosterone on the planet.

I sort of understood why they played chicken in 2009. Go undefeated and retire the horse after the BC. NOW that is not the case. It makes me think that his wife is calling the shots and/or he's getting estrogen shots from a quack LA doctor.

Your 73ish and Anne is still ........your Balls..Coach have a heart you can let her favorite mare run a few more times.. Even a Black man likes a good rub and tug

Yeah well she's been jacking us all off and stopping before we come. She's the worst kind of broad.

Actually if you are 75 and feeding on a cialis bag, Anne aint half bad.. Even for a well incorporated man of color.. Maybe you could even ask her to soak the saddle cloth in hot water for the winners share of the purse.. Even Foxy Brown could compile?

She hit the wall a few years ago. She's a 3 in L.A. with the kind of scratch he has. He should be raw doggin' a 20-something former child actress with daddy issues.

I have officially heard everything - on another forum someone said Zenyatta, not Holy Bull is the best horse Smith ever rode. :zz:

That segment of the fan base is called Zentardas

:D :tro:

I'd say Cigar is the best horse Mike Smith has ever ridden

Well, I'd say Skip Away probably was.

Why wasn't Bailey on him for that race?

He made a commitment to ride Behrens earlier in the year and couldn't get out of it.

Skip Away beat Cigar as a 3yo in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and passed on the BC a few weeks later because he wasn't nomiated. I believe the thinking was that Sonny Hine would again refuse to put up a fortune to supplament and make Skip Away elidigible to run ... but when the mighty Formal Gold and many others started falling ... Skip Away was like the last survivor from an insanely awesome group of older males.

If not for a lot of key injuries ... I don't think Skip Away would have run in the Classic as a 4yo either. Going on memory though
