Dumb argument. And Moss' classless actions at the HOY ceremony last year speak volumes.

I dont believe Shirreffs has started another horse on the main track this meet....but yea he loves the surface.

Why would you possibly think that? There is almost no chance of that. Their goal all year has been the BC Classic. If she's healthy, she'll run in the Classic. If she not healthy, she won't run at all. She's not going to run in the Distaff.

Interesting that he would rather run her on a surface he absolutely hates over shipping out of Cali.

How is it a dumb argument? And what did Moss do at the HOY ceremony that was classless?

Hey, going from Hollywood to Del Mar counts as shipping.

You're lost dude. There were about 5 threads about it last year. Lookem up....And just b/c TVG is the Zenyatta tv network doesnt mean you have to be a lackey.

tiggerv 08-07-2010 10:10 PM

Shirreffs is 4 1-1-1 at DMR this year including Zenyatta.

She punishes you, but also wants to keep giving you hope. That way, she knows you'll come back for another beating. You have a huge shot at beating her with BLAME, but don't bet money that you need.

You two should get a room.

Yeah, you can bet on it, CSC.

They don't need to ship cross-country looking for RA at this point.

It's all about the BCC now.

Prepping at home … on synthetic … gives her the best chance to be at her best for the Cup, in my estimation (although I wish the race at Anita was 9f instead of 8.5).

So why point the horse to a race at a surface they don't like? That's stupid. Are they really that afraid of shipping/losing?

I have no idea what people would have criticized Moss for. I think he has handled himself great with regards to Zenyatta. He never said that he thought she deserved HOY over Rachel. He has never said that she is better than Rachel. He has been very humble about Zenyatta. I don't know how a guy could have handled himself better.

What is this based on? Something that those lying dirtbag connections said?

Are you really that naive to believe any excuse they throw out there?

Whats next? Do you really believe that flying over the Rockies was a legitimate excuse to not ship east earlier this year?

Or that going 10f against males in the Hollywood Gold Cup last year was too daunting a thing to do with a female horse, despite that moronic trainer running a female in that race anyways?

I don't think they're afraid of losing. She's not a great shipper and they don't want to knock her out. If they were afraid of losing, would they have run in the BC Classic last year instead of the Distaff? If they were afraid of losing would they have agreed to ship to Oaklawn to face Rachel?
