You have to listen to it.
I respect both Steve's, both have earned the right to express their opinions in horseracing, it's easy to call one opinion as absurb from the position we are sitting in. So they disagree, great radio, it doesn't make one opinion lesser than the other.

Im surprised that no one has mentioned the horse in which Zenyattas name was to replace in the Stake out west. Zen wouldn't have even been able to sniff Lady's Secrets ass! Let alone Personal Ensign

Yikes. Just listened.

I loved the back and forth, right up until Steve pulled the "talk to you next week" and went to the break.

It's his show. I guess he can treat guests the way he wants to.

And I could not disagree more with Davidowitz's take on this. Steve B sums up most of my thoughts on the current place in history of Zenyatta.

But I appreciate Steve D's passion and opinion...much like I appreciate Andy on the radio and on NYRA...and many other radio and TV guys who have an opinion and are not just stat and commercial readers.

I think the next step is for Steve to have Mr. Moss on the phone and say the same things he said with Seth Morrow in the next segment.

If Byk is sitting on the left of you, and Davidowitz on the right, who do you listen to?

If it were me in that situation, I'd tell Byk to stop banning PG1985 and I'd tell Davidowitz that he needs to lay off the Zenyatta Kool Aid.

I'd then stand up and yell out to Rupert that yeah, PE didn't ship, but she was facing much much much much better competition in her career, and there was no reason to ship out of the area.

Back in the day, I used to rip on East coast trainers that would refuse to ship
west, but not with Personal Ensign, as I felt she wasn't beating up on a bunch of cream puffs.

Zenyatta feeds on cream puffs.

After the info I got yesterday on the Arlington thread, I would be looking for Brian S Spencer, heck I may even buy him a beer.
