big whoop. workouts don't always tell who is better in the afternoon.

Facing males is different. She'd win her fair share, but she'd lose some too.

And exactly where did it say that a workout equates to a race ?

And in what races do they give other horses lengths of head starts ?

I have seen in five decades many females facing males---depending on the female, it is not as difficult as you think.

Little 15 hand Cicada duking it out with the 17 hand Ridan, and just going under, Shuvee winning the JCGC at 2 miles twice, Waya, Ta Wee lugging over 140 pounds, are just some I remember.

They both beat and lost to their own and the boys .

And your point is nothing but patronizing ...

Well hopefully Tiago and Zenyatta will run against each other one day and we can see for certain. They probably never will run against each other, but it's the only way to know who is better.

Well, as far as I am concerned, they already have run against each other ...

Tiago never impressed me much, and his third in the BCC was a surprise ...

Finishing ahead of Curlin when that one shot his wad and was not persevered with does not add anything to the thought that he actually could run with him .

Zenyatta intrigues me as she seems both thus far invincible and in possession of reserves untapped .


I see nothing of that in Tiago .

If Tiago had the same schedule as Zenyatta last year, even though I realize this is completely hypothetical since it isn't allowed, he'd have an undefeated year and look just as invincible.

I do not agree, but you know what they say about opinions ...

You are entitled to yours ...

I have always loved Tiago, but this is a bit over the top.
He has never put it all together, and continues to look like a clunker, who sucks up in races. I think he would be a lot better on a dirt track " last year he did beat Heatseeker" but we won't see that this year.
