what would possibly compel borel to get her in a speed duel?

Maybe the same thing that compelled him to move a furlong too soon in the Belmont with Mine That Bird.

he thought he had the best horse, and probably discounted summer bird. people seem to keep doing that.

How about this stat:

116-111-108-108-101-103-100-99

Yeah, those are Rachel's last 8 beyer speed figures...Zenyatta, hell any horse in this country wishes they could run those, but nothing can. This is the best horse in America, male or female, and the sooner you come to the realization of that, the easier it will be to accept when Rachel is horse of the year. By the way, that 99 came in October of her 2YO season, which OOPS, coincidentily seems to be Zenyatta's MOST RECENT figure.

No horse in the country beats Rachel unless she injures herself in the race. Period.

Are you comparing my pointing out that someone who gave me the was incorrect to your breaking someone's balls for posting an unworthy thread?

You quoted yourself in a post.

It's a slippery slope.

Pretty soon you'll be posting screen captures of contest leaderboards you finished 2nd in.

A) I quote myself all the time, not just on message boards.

B) At least I didn't redboard the fact that I had the $21 winner of the 8th race at SAR today. Gotta thank Byk for that one since he taught me the importance of spotting the "reaction" in a PM last week.

C) Also, I liked you better when my picture was your avatar.

Do you think any jockey says to himself before a race "Ya know, today feels like a good day to get my horse into a speed duel"?
