I find it irritating that attitude, but he knew his horse better than me and had her ready but just not quite as ready as Blame, and I hope he is punished that he played the all eggs card then cries to overturn it. And I guess that is why people are upset at this Zenyatta stuff....but it's mainly the horse I try to look at.

I do love the talent of his horse. she's really good. She's just good.
