This is from the misguided genius who thought Simon Bray was inept when in reality from 2000 to 2002 he was 58-for-254 (23% wins) and had a great $2.82 ROI. He was 7 for 21 in Graded Stakes races and won Grade 1 stakes with two different horses.

Must be embarrassing being Zenyatta

all that talent, and her trainer keeps entering her against molasses.

She's probably wondering when she's actually going to have a real race.

By then, age will have probably taken its toll and it will be too late.

yeah, she can't get a real race. theres no one even close to her right now. the only horse i can see challenging her runs hardly ever and the horse that was supposed to beat her, done chickened out and can't even beat the molasses that zenyatta would spit on.

There was nothing stopping Zenyatta from being nominated to the Met Mile!

Oh wait, except this I suppose. Well then I guess Rachel can be excused from shipping West. I mean you wouldn't want Rachel to cross those fearsome Rockies.

Cute.

I guess being given great talent right off the bat had nothing to do with those phony numbers, right?

And riddle me this Mr. Twig, if he got off to such a great start in his training career, why, just two short years after his 58 for 254 streak, was he an analyst for TVG???

I can't wait to hear this one, though I feel that I'll have to wait forever.

You do remember that the younger Paulson ditched him at the end of that run, right?

Yup.

Why was he ditched? I know that the younger Paulson is an *******, but maybe he felt that Bray was not getting adequate results.

More importantly, how come that effectively killed his career? Why didn't anyone else of note employ him?

By the way, I think it's kinda cute that you kept DrugS post rebuking my anti-Bray sentiments fresh in your mind as potential ammunition against me all this time.

I'm flattered!
