I said real fans. Not internet lunatics who have giant axes to grind against either Rachel Alexandra or Zenyatta.

Are you honestly going to say her races last year were easy? As far as Zenyetta there was no easier spot then the Classic?

Its the fault of these connections that there is a dearth of quality horses anymore?

Rachel's campaign last year was extraordinary. Zenyatta's was lame except for one race in her backyard. Both campaigns this year have been lame. So one exciting season out of four, and now Moss and Jackson are suddenly Butch Cassidy and John effing Wayne? Dearth of quality horses? THERE'S A QUALITY HORSE DOWN THE SHEDROW FROM ZENYATTA THAT THEY WON'T GO AFTER. Face Rail Trip. Face Quality Road. Face each other. Do something, but don't run in cupcake ungraded fabricated stakes or stakes you've won three years in a goddamn row.

This is pure conjecture. PETA members might say this, DT members are smarter than that and you know it.
