How can you say they did different today other than to fume the flames of this every growing contingent that seems to rail on a very nice champion race horse.
Are you serious? Did you watch the coverage the day both Rachel and Zenyatta ran? Ken Rudulph actually said that some days a win by two lengths can be more impressive than a win by 20. I also love how a few little girls magically made their way right to the TVG set at Monmouth with pro-Zenyatta signs and somehow they made it onto the telecast this weekend. Must be a coincidence.

They did a 30 minute segment with Shirreffs last night where the "poor west coasters have to battle the bias" notionw as propagated endlessly. Today Schrupp referred to Del Mar as the epicenter of thoroughbred racing today because of the appearance of Zenyatta. The guy re-invented hyperbole when it comes to her.

Everything about Del Mar is first class, except the racing.

Its ok, thats what message boards are all about, cant be happy about anything, even a great race horse gets trashed here like a junkyard dog.
