It has to be a really pitiful feeling to know that you can't even love a horse without having to use another one in reference to her all the time.

Stack that on top of all those sour grapes from January and it's got to be a really dark place.

Brian, Considering all the posts we could dig up last year after the Woodward including some that I am sure belong to you, I think Zenyatta fans are behaving quite admirally this year.

Maybe it's more corporally?

In the middle of a HOY battle, yes, certainly the two would need to be discussed in reference to one another. You're not going to shock anyone by digging up posts.

It's the fact that five months into 2010, Zenyatta fans apparently aren't confident enough with her record and performances standing on their own merits, because they are never able to discuss her without trashing Rachel. If the only way you can build up Zenyatta is by trashing Rachel, then she's not as special as you claim she is, because otherwise you'd be able to let her body of work speak for itself.

And you have certainly not proven capable of doing that. Oh well.

I miss Drugs, well not really...maybe he would but that would only be a last resort for me.

As soon as DrugS comes back, and once they get settled over at PID (I don't have the time to do all the charts for last year's meet), I was going to engage him in some plays there. You're more than welcome to join us. I invited Nick but he was too busy trying to figure out why Z's connections were taking such a conservative path WHILE, nonetheless, acknowledging that he thought she was a very nice mare, to join us. Hopefully, being my 2nd choice won't stand in your way.

I appreciate the offer, however I know my limitations. PID is not a track I am heavily going to invest time on researching to put out my best effort forward. In addition I would have too much fun watching you and Drugs engage in an ol fashion handicapping contest to inject myself into the equation. However I will certainly try the Spa contest as having prematurely blown my loads too early there last yr to hopefully make ammends this year. Perhaps this venue is more appropiate? Though with me I as with you, I especially like to play turf and synth races. Maybe those should be possibilities down the line.
