Zenyatta v. Rail Trip??

[the_fat_man]

You have a horse that's never lost. And, she's never lost by running a single way. This means she needs to have, essentially, the same 'setup' every time she runs. In other words, she DICTATES setup, which is something that, pretty much, no other horse has done -- at least not running from way back.

So, the end result is:

1) constant criticism that she doesn't run FAST enough. (And that even the present RA would beat her)

2) She's beating NOBODIES

Well, 1) is just a result of the present rating system in place. Since this isn't irrefragible, who cares what the numbers say?

And, for 2), she showed up when it counted. Why in the world do her connections need to give her HARD races? She'll be there for the BC; I could care less what she does till then.

I just don't get why a horse that has done something so unique needs to constantly be criticized. If this isn't IGNORANCE, I don't know what is. This si MIKE the EUNUCH BS.
