![]() Shirreffs knows what he has
a monster win-machine router which is gunna love going from synthetic to that CD dirt.
Heard she was "eating up" the stuff the short time she was there last year before the scratch. Just get that win record (a simply remarkable accomplishment given her running style) and get her to the big race fit and fresh as a spring daisy, John. If she catches a break with that miserable KY weather she'll run down all the 10f pretenders in the lane and make history again |

![]() For starters I have been a RA fan since day one before Jackson & co...having the ability to be on the Oklahoma training track last year and seeing her up close and the training she did in the mornings was incredible. Her campaign last year was a throw back to all who loved the old style war horses of days gone by were thrilled when RA gave us that type of year....but having said that and being at the Woodward I looked right at my 81 year old father that day after she held off Macho and said she will NEVER be the same again. She bottomed out and that is that...
Z has over time caught my attention and the BC pre race..pawing her front legs into the dirt told me all I needed to know about this classy filly...she is truly a war horse of old and can not fault her for one minute after bashing her most of last year. She dances the dance as we say! I only hope she comes North this year and allows all of us to witness her brilliance up close. We should all be honored to be able to even write/blog/twitter/bitch/honor about these two marvelous horses and what they have done for OUR sport. Scat OUT |

![]() It depends on how they lose, a misunderstanding on my position with her is I can actually appreciate a horse when they lose. Seattle Slew's greatest race was one he didn't even win.

![]() Those words belong in an ad for a feminine hygiene product. They have no place in describing the campaign of a "great" mare.
