Another slight on Zenyatta.

I think they let the horses decide amongst themselves, so it took a little longer

That definitely nominates you for "wittiest reply to a new thread in under 4 minutes" in the post of the year category.

Always good to see an article with an Oliver's Twist blast.

They had to hear from Davidowitz before making such a proclamation.

I like how the article said Vannacide's 2009 earnings reached $57,915, making HIS lifetime earnings $245,162....its a Mare...nice job Bloodhorse editors.

Since this one has won a horse of the year award, of sorts, how's that affect her ranking among the all time greats running now, Z and RA?

I'm thinking

1. RA
2. Vannacide
3. Zenyatta.

Though until Vannacide ships over her native Rockies, I am reserving the right to change my mind.
