Zenyatta v. Rail Trip??

[NTamm1215]

The funny thing is the thread starter has been pro-Zenyatta for the most part. It is possible to like the horse and have an issue with where she runs this year.

What we definitely needed was for Rachel Alexandra to be invoked into this thread where there was no reason whatsoever. Now it'll only be a matter of seconds before Smooth Operator and CSC show up.

You have a horse that's never lost. And, she's never lost by running a single way. This means she needs to have, essentially, the same 'setup' every time she runs. In other words, she DICTATES setup, which is something that, pretty much, no other horse has done -- at least not running from way back.

So, the end result is:

1) constant criticism that she doesn't run FAST enough. (And that even the present RA would beat her)

2) She's beating NOBODIES

Well, 1) is just a result of the present rating system in place. Since this isn't irrefragible, who cares what the numbers say?

And, for 2), she showed up when it counted. Why in the world do her connections need to give her HARD races? She'll be there for the BC; I could care less what she does till then.

I just don't get why a horse that has done something so unique needs to constantly be criticized. If this isn't IGNORANCE, I don't know what is. This si MIKE the EUNUCH BS.

the_fag_man always goes after RA and the connections for ducking the BC and Apple Blossom.

But Zenyatta's connections are above criticism. Lets forget about the Woodward last year. That doesn't count. The sissies weren't butthurt over an award at that time. Bravery doesn't count until the Eclipse awards happened.

GET IT RIGHT YOU MORANS!! MOMMY ISSUES!

Wait for "The Great Sportsman" Jess Jackson to respond in a press conference...he was mapping out a 3 race series for Zenyatta earlier in the year. I'm sure by now he has made a few revisions and will gladly pass them along to the Mosses at a later date.
