Well, the origin of the saying long predates any negative connotation that had been given to it (even if erroneously given) in more recent times.

But I'll edit it out for the sake of being safe.

Eh, but I'd rather not have it out there if someone may take it the wrong way. My bleeding heart won't let me keep it there if I run that risk

Lets call a spade a spade and say that there is a troll a troll'n you fools to death.

I read Crist's article today on this...not disagreeing with his points, but I think this is the third or fourth post BC article on Zenyatta and there is a common state

"This is no knock on Zenyatta"

"While Zenyatta is a fine horse, but ....."

"She won the Classic but..."

Every article is written as a counterpoint to what the horse has done. I think its interesting.

Interesting in the way that people thinking Rachel is HOY don't want to appear to denigrate what a quality horse Zenyatta is so they're trying to put the padding up before somebody comes in swinging over something ridiculous. We were lucky to have either one of them in our lifetimes. Doesn't mean that one's overall 2009 season doesn't come out ahead for its overall strength. It's not a counterpoint to what Zenyatta did, it's a counterpoint to the implication that we don't fully appreciate everything that she is by saying RA's year was worthy of HOY. It's absolutely ridiculous to be down on either horse. It's like asking someone if they'd rather have the wealth of Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. Zenyatta is magic. I still wouldn't give her the trophy over RA.
