What jumped the shark first: bashing Zenyatta or Smooth Operator? It's a tough call.

They should keep it the Zenyatta Stakes or publicly execute the person who green-lighted the name change. Preferably in the winners circle.

She should run back in the Zenyat...Lady's Secret. Have another go at it, so close last time.

Great idea.

... and maybe before or after this guy

...could jump (he seems to like to jump) up and down on this one (?).

You know, just for the sake of entertainment.

Listen up.

None of us are bashing Zenyatta.

We are bashing her connections, and tards such as yourself who can't tell the difference.

More than three ".'s" in your ellipses would seem to prove Indian Charlie's conclusion.

It pains me that someone with such feeble powers of reasoning would invoke such a great and beloved horse for their username.

The list of horses who were great is very, very small in that case. Kincsem, Personal Ensign, Colin, and Zenyatta. Oh, and Peppers Pride. The end.

He's from a time when connections weren't totally lame and it was an acceptable risk, losing.

Different times, different standards.

Now, only Peppers Pride, Zenyatta, that recently retired Lion Heart 2yo and Uncle Mo can be considered truly great.

Alysheba shipped around a lot, but we should keep in mind that the Rockies weren't as high back then.

As am I. Risk it a little too often. Ah the great Peppers Pride.
