Zenyatta.

That does look like a Zenyatta-like field.

It's a G1. You clearly don't know horse racing.

In all seriousness, the field doesn't look bad. At least we know L@T doesn't belong in claiming races.

Yeah, but while Zenyatta was allegedly going to try new things this year, Rachel is, by running a distance she hasn't yet.

[slotdirt]

Right, so this is basically Rachel's Santa Margherita with Life at Ten playing the role of St. Trinians.

Rachel tried a lot of new things this year--let's give her credit for the things she did this year over last .

Lose.

Never ran in a G1 until August.

Had races invented and tailored for her .

Did not run against the males she " demolished " last year.--or any males at all

Acquired a " big, new body "--ostensibly from Earl Scheib

Forgot her blinding acceleration at the far turn

Screwed up her lead changes



You Retchelistas sure have some nerve mocking the Zentards all right .

Zenyatta has indeed run in the same crap G1s as last year---boring, unimaginative, but perfect. And yes, she only shipped once .

She has held her form and her condition., and her body also got bigger each year--or didn't anyone notice ??.

Frequent flyer miles, changes of equipment, and your hopes and snark are not going to change Rachel into last year's model .

That said, I fervently hope she wins Sunday and goes to the Classic .

The proper term is Zenyattards, but since you are in that camp, I wouldn't expect you to get that (or anything else) right.

Someone is extra touchy today....

I would not expect you to get that both terms are acceptable, dolt --since you are a bombastic Retchelista ....

However I am not a Zenyattard or a Zentard--I am a fan of all good horses .

Not at all ...

I agree, you do seem a bit touchy.

Before this turns into another 10 page Rachel v. Zenyatta thread that I don't wish to read, could anyone give me some info on the 1 and 5 mares? Thanks.
