love his optimism

but he kinda lost me after he said

“Sam Houston has the best dirt course in the country,” McIngvale told the Chronicle. “This is the best time for them to hook up.”

He should throw in a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret and two pink Mazda Miata's for Moss and Shirreffs.

It could be 20 million, like money matters with two owners worth 100's of millions and at a place like SH.

How will this settle everything? As much as I want to see them in a race together, this will settle nothing. You have a horse that wants to be near the front and the other one is a dead closer. Rachael will loaf on the lead and Zenyatta won't be able to get her. It's not cause Rachael is better (even though I think she is) it's about racing dynamics. Zenyatta just got up the other day in the last steps, do you honestly think that she will reel in Rachael after 24 48 fractions that she will set on an uncontested loose lead? Like I said it will settle nothing.

but isnt that why E and EP types are better than closers as race horses, I have always felt that way. Just because Zenyatta has collapsed every pace scenario does not change that, she is a bit of a freak in that regard.

I wonder what horsey message boards would have been like during the Affirmed and Alydar TC season?

I personally think that Zenyatta is a very good horse. I thought she was beat on Sunday (a couple of times) and she battled, dug in and got up to win. As far as the pace scenarios that she has/has not gotten to close into, I just think that she is so much more talented than the horses she is is running against out there.

No one is going to pass up a G1 race for this. The match race would have to be after the BC

Can someone tell Pants to save this post? lol

Antitrust32 08-11-2009 02:42 PM

I think they should have a 2 or 3 furlong sprint race for the two horses. they can just unleash their "final kick" and see who is truely faster..
