I was more impressed with Blame than most anyone else this weekend.

I still say Zenyatta likely only won because of Switch getting green late.
The filly was tired. She didn't switch because she was "green" all of a sudden. Many horses swap their leads when they get tired. There's a couple of pictures up of both horses at the wire. Z's ears are straight up and Switch's are back. Switch ran a terrific race, but the pictures show who was well within themelves.

I am amazed at what some people don't see. They can't be watching a horse race.

What a surprise....Zenyatta fans pretending they "get it" or are seeing something others can't.

There's an original concept.

Has nothing to do with being a fan of Zenyatta, it's more a part of the game. Like some sit and wait for someone to tell them who to watch and when to bet, I prefer to find them on my own.

As do I. It just seems to me the Zenyatta fans are always acting like they see things the rest of the people don't. Then again, most of her fans don't bet, so that might factor into it.

I saw that too. Horses defineatly swap their leads when tired. Especially a classy animal who was probably trying to do too much to hold that amazon off. Would be interesting to go back and see what became of all the fillies that finished 2nd to Queenie.

Didn't you already incorrectly do that on another board?

So, she got tired and had a sudden heart attack, is that what you are saying.

She ran her last 1/16th in under 6.1.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. She tired real bad there. I guess the extra three lengths she pulled away from the third place horse there in the last 1/16th means what? Let me guess, the horse in third was being eased?

Jesus freakin Crist. Just when you think the Zenyattards cannot possibly get a lower IQSF (Intelligence Quotient Speed Figure), they go out there and obliterate their previous lows.

And a freeze frame photograph showed their ears in different positions?

I suppose it's not possible their ears were being flicked about, and that their ears were not pinned in those respective positions. Perhaps, just perhaps, the photo(s) caught their ears that way.

Jesus freakin Crist. Just when you think the Zenyattards cannot possibly get a lower IQSF (Intelligence Quotient Speed Figure), they go out there and obliterate their previous lows. Again.

IC---

Are you obsessed with medical mischegoss ??? No one mentioned a heart attack but you your failed efforts to dramatize ...

I believe the discussion was that tiring horses may swap leads--and they do, and she did .

While you are diddling yourself about the Ztards talking about ears--laid back ears indicate effort or anger--upright ears indicate lack of effort and pleasant attitude .

Any retarded pony clubber knows this .

Do you even read your own foolishness ???

Everything the prior posters said is true, and trying to make it into fantasy just indicates how little you know about horses--regardless which horse you like or put money on .

Obviously, even to a scholar like you, I was being facetious about the heart attack quip. Nice try though.

It's 'mishegoss' you numbnut. Try to stick to English.

She ran her last 1/16th in under 6.1 while putting 3 more lengths between her and the third place horse. Is this really the last 1/16th of a horse tired enough to lose her action by switching leads? NO, it is not. If you weren't so blind to reality, you'd admit that.

Her ears may or may not have been pinned back. One snapshot of a horse moving at about 35-40 MPH proves nothing. Unless you are desperate for any flimsy evidence to support your empty belief. Who knows, maybe she was hurt??

Or just happened to have her ears back at that exact moment. Of course, you need nothing more than that one split instant in time to know these things. Being the retarded pony clubber that you are.

I missed this gem until I reread your inane ramblings to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I didn't realize Zenyatta was not even trying and was just out for a Saturday stroll in the Park.

This last post of yours zooooooms you way past CSC1985 and Smooth Operatard as the biggest imbecile in recent DT history.

In fact, five years from now, we (the rest of DT) will look back at you three with fondness. Much like how racing fans who've been around awhile look back to the 70's with a Zen like fondness for the horses from that era.

You will be Secretariat to CSC and SO's Affirmed and Alydar. We will all be looking back and saying that the tards of today (in five years) just do not stack up with the tards of yesteryear.

The biggest moron in five years will be like a Mine That Bird compared to you being Secretariat.

She's bewildering like a tremendous machine!

Freakin Mike Smith! Hitting that poor horse 10 times in the stretch when it was so clear that she was well within herself...

Really? She's now supposed to win without having the use of the whip? She's supposed to run down a horse, that had gotten just about the best possible trip imaginable, EASILY? Is that where we are with Z now?

What other horses are held to similar standards?

You've become so badly brainwashed that you actually took that post seriously.

God is that sad.

This from someone who is posting on TWO forums, consistently, about the topic. You haven't done this much SPIN since POTN ran 2nd in the Derby.

Why don't you go back to what you do best? You know, that real insightful race analysis. I mean, isn't it time we heard your argument about how QR can easily get 10F, again? That was a gem.

And you have the nuts to go around taking shots at others. Then again, since your 'stars' have gone down, you're reduced to taking the offensive against the 'opposition'.

A simple " oops, I can't believe I misread that " would have sufficed. Then again, I guess with some of another's insanity today, you felt a need to try to compete.

Ya know, everyone doesn't hate you. But, I guess you can keep trying to change that if need be.

Which is worse?

That everyone hates TFF except for pg1985 or that pg1985 is the only one that doesn't hate TFF?
