So the consensus is she's done for the year because of one tough race? No wonder why this sport is behind bowling and cornhole on espn.

I can see it now...

Once horse racing is done as a sport the fans that are left will switch to Tennis and demand a tournament end after the star has a tough 5-setter in the quarters.

There is no longer any upside, Mr. Pants.

Buy a horse like her and you'll understand.

First, however, you'll have to figure a way to get $10 million dollars.

You have experience with buying 8 million dollar horses? At least get the price right.

I'll do that right after you go suck 10 dicks. So...I'll buy a horse tomorrow.

Anybody suggesting she isn't the horse of the year and could actually get beat is in denial and smoking crack.

Zenyatta? GIO PONTI?!?!? Please.

Wow, a homoerotic response from you. What a shock.

And you would know all about homoeroticism considering you proudly tout being on AOL.

You read as well as you write, too. The wonders of a GED never cease.

She had it locked up before today's race so I don't see anything changing after.

Technically this is typing but being the brilliant homo you are, much in the likeness of Wilde, you'll weasel your way out of it.

I think the race was tough because the 2009 campaign is catching up with her. If I owned her I'd shut her down.

If I owned her I'd sell her.

Let's dismiss your conjecture with some FACTS.
  • Rachel Alexandra just won 9th straight race; 8th this year.
  • Fifth consecutive Grade 1 victory: Kentucky Oaks, Preakness, Mother Goose, Haskell, and Woodward. Have you ever heard of these races?
  • History would suggest that any male horse who won Preakness, Haskell and Woodward would be "clubhouse leader" for Horse of the Year with or without Breeders' Cup victory. Add Kentucky Oaks and Mother Goose and "virtual lock" is not unrealistic on HOY honors.

I didn't say anything about HOY. I don't give a s.hit about awards shows.
