They all lose.. Slew lost, Big Red lost, Forego lost, Bid lost PE didn't and Zenyatta hasn't but there is NO shame in losing. The shame is when you dont show up. Without sounding to sappy, watching to champions give it their all and having one edge out another doesnt make the other a bum.

I like you and your style, but Z and RA are not the show anymore, its QR's world now.... Hes the big gun.

Nobody I mean nobody is coming to the track to see Mr. -7.5 run. 2010 is about the gals, two of them. Jerry Brown and to a lesser degree Beyer(BSF), can follow QR the public cares about Rachel and big Mama Zenyatta..I get QR maybe the fastest of the 3 but who cares?

he wouldn't go in the gate when he saw Zenyatta on the track

if he had to run against Rachael he probably wouldn't leave the paddock

I'd pay my taxes early if I could fast forward the calendar to April 9 without any setbacks for these two.

This is the best win at the track I may have ever had. Tickets at the finish line. Confirmed hotel rooms just a couple of hours before the announcement and a spark in my wife's eye. Now that's a winning tri-fecta.:rolleyes:

MaTH716 02-11-2010 09:47 PM
Has anyone given any thought what would happen if it should rain? I'm guessing Rachael would be in the gate, and opinions on Zenyatta running on an off track?

rpncaine 02-11-2010 09:57 PM
What I want is for OP to make sure that they put this race as the last one of the day. Us working people need time to get home and watch it live. It needs to go off no earlier than 6:00 pm EST!

tanner12oz 02-11-2010 10:39 PM
ill be driving from the middle tennessee area if anyone wants to carpool and split gas...calling for tickets tomorrow am

$100 exacta RA over Zenyatta.

How much will that pay? :)

Any ideas as to who will be broadcasting it? Will it be the usual HRTV or TVG or will ESPN decide this is worthy of 30 minutes of air time?

ETA: At least Steve will be able to air the audio on ATR!

I don't know about that. After vanquishing Past the Point, he's already beat the key opponent along the way to the last two Horses of the Year.

True to your name................

slotdirt 02-12-2010 08:53 AM
I'd have to imagine Zenyatta would scratch if it rains.

For the record, I think this whole deal is pretty much the worst idea in horse racing in a long time. A Friday? Seriously?
