I'm sure RA's connections (and, of course, the DRF, and thus Beyer) appreciate all the support on these forums.

Can I ask why you refer to Zardana as "3rd string Z?" I'm trying to figure out who's 2nd string.

Wouldn't Life is Sweet be the 2nd string mare in that barn?

Ironically, LIS shouldn't be able to beat RA.

I guess Life is Sweet was 2nd string but I think it would be somewhat difficult to imagine her beating Rachel on dirt. Zardana at least had some dirt background but Life is Sweet's only dirt race (obviously a small sample) was horrendous.

Yes, that's why I said was 2nd string.

Ah, I see. Yes, that was part of my initial question as well.

But that's what happened, BRO. RA and the DRF/BEYERites, who continue to insist that Zenyatta is very SLOW and the luckiest horse in history, got a severe asskicking.

Sounds like you're smarting a bit yourself.

Touche. Too bad you're still clueless about the ability level of Zenyatta. At least you're good with retirement statistics.

When the hell did I make a remark about Zenyatta's ability? In your haste to assume that everyone on here feels negatively about Zenyatta (which is a ridiculous generalization) you may take into account what individuals have actually said.

The only remarks I've made about Zenyatta, since they crossed the wire in the 2008 Distaff, is that I wish they'd get really ambitious with her so that she could get into the conversation for the all-time greats. I believe they're on their way. However, you would be hard-pressed to find a remark on here where I've questioned her ability, specifically since last November.

I would wait till Zardana's next race most likely at CD before even putting her that high on any list, right now you guys are setting her up for a huge fall if she doesn't repeat her race in the N.O Ladies, her races in Brazil look nice on paper but that's quite a leap to think she is going to be this all world dirt performer in NA. It is curious why Sheriff's and McAnally never tried her on dirt until now...one thing's for sure she will most likely be an underlay in her next start.
