so i guess we will never no unless they throw a saddle on her again.


and rachel in her prime would have beat them both.
I guess he forgot riding Holy Bull, who was in a different league than Zenyatta.

He is a hopeless zenyatta fan and he's already stated his belief that Arrogate is not extraordinary. Further attempts at bringing him to reality would be like trying to argue a point with Reverend Jim.

See the thing is, holy bull was awesome, but hosses passed him sometimes. No hoss passed Zenyatta. She passed every hoss she ever ran against except 1. Smith took the Blame for that .

Maybe it was a weak comeback because it wasn't a comeback at all. It was a rebuttal to a really dumb idea.
