They both seem to be coming into top form now, which is how I'd like to see them square off. So let's go ... next time out.

Sounds good, the timing would be right. I'm so ready to get beyond this and to the next point of contention.......Quality Road is better than both of them right now.

No one wants to run on those crap surfaces out west if they don't have to, what don't people understand about that? It's a complete crapshoot whether or not a horse takes to it. I hope no top horse ever ships out west ever again, just so that garbage isn't validated as a proving ground. The dirt is where champions still prove their mettle, like it or not.

I agree, dirt is the surface of choice. It's never a crapshoot.

What PeteMugg is espousing is actually rather interesting to me. Now, I don't think Jackson would do it because A., he hates synths and B., he's probably very much ascared of both Rail Trip and Zenyatta, but wouldn't that be interesting to try to force the Mosses hand for once?

Exactly, nobody said that dirt isnt where champions are proven, but the Mosses are not coming cross country again. I HATE synthetics with a passion but this seems to be the only way they will be able to get these two to meet. And while they are at it they can stop Zenyatta's win streak

slotdirt · #66 06-15-2010, 07:52 AM

I don't think Rachel can beat Zenyatta on synths. I don't think anybody can, to be perfectly honest.

I think they should Match Race. Old School. Would be phenomenal. I know I'm dreaming.

And while shes at it take out all the top males on the used rubbers also. If she gets beat so what, its not her preferred surface and they can goat Zen to come to the Breeders cup and settle it once and for all on a conventional dirt surface in the Breeders cup, either it be the Classic or the distaff. This really isnt a half bad idea

the only time she did race on the poly it was huge......this whole thing is beyond tired anyway.

You are all very bad men!

Danzig · #70 06-15-2010, 04:31 PM

just read blame is being pointed to the whitney next. quality road and mine that bird are also expected.

now, wouldn't it be nice if rachel and zenyatta showed up? won't happen, but it would be one hell of a race if they did!!

Dont you think that someone should try to sponser this thing? With Blame and QR already going, and even though he sucks last years Derby winner, I think if they got a sponser and made this $5 million it could be race of the decade.

Or maybe a co venture between A&M Records and Kendall Jackson Winery?

I cannot, at least not without bringing Zenyatta into the equation.

And if Zenyatta wins, A&M can give out broken records saying how great Zenyatta is.
