Let's Meet August 1st?
 

Let's get some sponsors. Put up a million dollars and make the Ruffian at Saratoga where the two meet. Get it done.

Come on, dude, somebody already put up $5 million. Do you really think money is the object in all of this?

It is a perfect spot. Money is a help.

No way Zenyatta's leaving Cali. Zero. None. Nada.

Before the Breeders Cup? 25% chance

I think I would put money on her not even going to the Breeder's Cup. Given the right odds of course, and even though she loves to fly in airplanes.

If she's healthy she'll be there.

If she wins the Hirsch and Lady Seceret/Zenyatta...

I somehow doubt she will be...just my opinion.

Even though she loves to fly.

If she's healthy and 20 for 20 is on the line? She'll be at Santa Anita. Put it on the board...yes.

Agreed.

Loves to fly in airplanes? This is pure gibberish.

Everyone knows she just has to don her cape, get a running start down the HP backstretch (located near LAX) and then she can fly straight to CD.

To hell with that. 9f. Invite those two as well as qr and blame. Maybe a couple others. Edit-add rail trip also

I'd pay for a photoshop picture of this. I'd even put it on my desk here at work.

Coach, that sounds like something you can muster up.

If big Z is healthy she will be in the classic. No way RA will be there

If they put her on a plane before November they could take advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity for any american owner and prep for the Arc in The Diana or The Sword Dancer. On the return trip to California drop by Churchill Downs.

Don't mind me, just dreaming.

I wrote something like this the other day, but I think your not aiming high enough.
$5 million for the Whitney If Rachel, Z and QR run. If those 3 show and the purse is $5 million your getting every other decent horse around....

While you guys are tossing around the millions like frisbees can a brother get a measly 10 or 20K?

I might be wrong, but I thought some matress guy was willing to put up $5 million for them? If thats true, then someone, somewhere has to be willing to do it again.

I myself think Zenyatta should go run overseas.I would love to see her run on the grass.

...... i hear that, the pick 5,s at mounmoth have been doing me dirty. my visa cards would get new life.

Most of the Usual Doorknobs are appearing in this thread under the cover of insanity.

And this was made official as soon as you showed up

Are you upset that someone is stealing your usual cover?

Oh go phoook yourself.

Gee...I didn't mean you.


After all,you're an EmptyTram groupie now...nothing should upset you .

I knew you didn't mean me.

What's EmptyTram? I clearly don't read as much as I should.

Boy I'll say.



I'll explain later....wouldn't want to interrupt KRAGS red boarding...is not exactly a multi tasker.

This is sad
 

This morning I call a buddy of mine who lives in the DC area. We were chatting and I say did you catch that unbelievable race with Zenyatta? My friend is your typical sports fan who will only pay close attention to TC and BC races. He says I didn't even know she was running. Was there any non-track promotion or marketing of this event at all? Sportscenter? MSN, Yahoo? USA Today? Who is responsible from the PR side? Putting aside all the RA vs Zen, the surface, CA stuff....wouldn't the sport benefit if these races got national attention, especially given the streak.

The Vanity just does not bring along a ton of interest.

Jim Rome gave Vic's racecall national exposure today, obviously after the fact, but it's something.

If you were Brad Thomas you could make it yourself.

It's not the race, it's the star power, the mystique, and the thrill of the streak.

Which 12k people came out to witness. A high school football game in TX would get more.

I doubt you'd have to go as far as Texas to find a high school football game with 12k in attendance. Shoot, they get 30k to show up on some of their bigger occasions.

It's the same deal with the Harlem Globetrotters facing the Washington Generals.

Damn you Bristol!

go Isotopes !!

Or anyone playing the Orioles.

yay dust mites.

but...but... she won it for the third time straight. that has to mean something.

That was a quick kick to the groin...no flying for the "Queen."
