Who Is Horse Of The Year?

[slotdirt]

I legitimately can't believe that there are 53 human beings who regularly visit derbytrail.com who think Zenyatta is more deserving of horse of the year honors than Rachel Alexandra.

I legitimately can't believe you would be shocked by any opinion expressed on derbytrail.com.

It would be a travesty, yes a travesty, if Rachel didn't get it.

Neither did anything wrong, but R.A. didn't even run in the biggest race for 3 year olds this year( K Derby.) She's a 3 year old. If you want to match up with Zenyata, then you should at least have won the biggest race for a 3 year old, or won this race that Zenyata showed up for. Zenyata won the biggest race she could of been in this year. She's the only filly or mare to win this race. Hasn't ever been done (in the 25 year history.) Winning Colors won the Derby. R.A. didn't even run in it. She won a Triple Crown race. Then, she ducked both the Belmont and BC Classic. Hey, if you want to ignore the mare that accomplished the biggest feat (for her sex) in 25 years of horseracing, then you go right ahead. Surely, R.A. winning those other races was more important to ya. At some point, doing something your sex hasn't come close to doing in 25 years should get a little respect.

Er, yeah it's sooo Rachel's fault her owners at the time were anti-colt races. Also Man O'War's owner kept him out of the Derby because he looked down on going to Kentucky in May (well really ever right? Didn't he think of KY as "the west" and had to be talked into doing it with War Admiral?) I guess MOW just sucks huh? Being as he didn't even run in the Derby..

I could see going with both, I could see giving it to Rachel. Saying Zenyatta deserves it and Rachel doesn't is where I'm balking.

PS There's a Ruth's Chris in Beverly Hills? Mmm...
