No one cares. You posted the same stuff on Twitter. No one cares there either.

Not my problem you couldn’t handle alcohol. Another thing you failed at.

You’re wrong. Plenty of people care . it’s a big accomplishment. Maybe you should try an AA meeting and you wouldn’t be so rotten . (Azzholes Anonymous).
I can see it now. Hi I’m duh hoss and I’m an azzhole.

You don’t drink but smoke yourself stupid all day everyday.

What an accomplishment. You were too weak to handle alcohol so you substituted it with weed.

Very heroic. You should write a (picture) book.

Secret Oath is good. I thought maybe she could be special. If she was, we would know it by now. We wouldn’t need to wait to see if she wins the Cotillion and/or Distaff. The best she can be is good. She isn’t generational. Well, I guess technically she is. The best of her generation.

I don't think she is at this point. But as I said I think it's still in play. If she could win the Cotillion and the B C Distaff that would assure her an Eclipse.

Then if she were to run at 4 being a superstar would still be possible until it wasn't.

I guess it depends on your definition of generational. I think the question was asked at some point earlier in this thread and I'd rather put hot pokers in my eyes than go back and look but...to me a "generational talent" is an athlete, horse whatever, that is so good, we only see talent like that a few times in years if not decades.

Winning the Kentucky Oaks, with a low speed figure doesn't really equate to that. She's a really nice filly, easy to root for and runs her race. But she's yet to run fast and has not been competitive both times she has faced males.

In recent history maybe two fillies would be considered "generational" to me. Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta. Both of them were much better than Secret Oath. Are we even sure that Secret Oath is "better" than Echo Zulu? Look at where the horses close to the pace in the Oaks finished.

I think Beholder deserves some very strong consideration as well.

Completely agree.

I'd also include RACHAEL ALEXANDRA & PERSONAL ENSIGN.

What was unfair about her win over SONGBIRD in the BC?

That's a great question. I think Echo Zulu is probably better up to one mile and Secret Oath better 9F and up. If someone offered me a bet, someone that would pay, I would take Echo Zulu to win the BC F&M Sprint over Secret Oath winning the BC Distaff.
