With the way they handled Zen, I'd have to think they were waiting until he was absolutely ready to win vs the weakest spot possible before sending out. Too bad they can't run him in a Cal Bred for fillies.

Apparently her son is more stout than herself. This horse has already flown over the Rocky mountain range, at the tender age of two.

Based on that, I don't see how this horse will ever lose.

Well, there goes the perfect record. Guess it is time to retire him.

It was a self-inflicted mush by subconscious proxy. To think a horse can win, yet dismiss him because you've got a beef with a Kentucky Derby winning trainer...well.... I dunno.

He wasn't the GOAT's Right Hand in '98? I'm fairly sure he was, but I certainly could be wrong.

Assistant is a little different, no?
Harty is below average in almost every category and gets good, expensive stock. I don't bet him.

That's fair - should def have phrased it differently. That was as bad an open company MSW race as you'll see in CA, Cosmic One in the mix or not. Liking a horse at a big number (who got there by virtue of dumb money), and refusing to take the action based on a trainer bias in a sh1t field is tough to grasp.

If my comment was harsh, that's on me - sorry bro. I think you're one of the more savvy cappers here

At least Cozmic's Major League debut wasn't the worst of the day.
