And, I disagree with you that Blame didn't have an advantage. He was racing for the 5th time over CD which he obviously loved as he's now won 4 of those 5 races.

I've never been a die hard Zenyatta fan. I can't even call myself a fan other to admire what she has done and be angry that her connections didn't allow her to do more. But, they showed a bit of courage sending her to KY for this race. They obviously covet HOY and were willing to go for it.

This needn't be an exchange of insults amongst one another. She lost, and I'm not denying that, but she did nothing to embarrass herself. Dump on her owners and trainer if you will. I don't think Mike Smith did anything wrong, but I'm sure that's subject to a lot of debate.

If you care to argue with my opinion any further, you'll be talking to the air because I've said all I'm going to say about her performance today.
