Did she have to ship over that Eiffel Tower?

The same RVW that Z crushed in the BCC?

No, this RVW is running on his preferred surface and without foot problems.

Not to mention on his regular continent....six thousand miles from Zenyatta's home base.

Plus, he won't have to fly over those dang Rockies.

So you don't see him making the trip to CD this year for a rematch with Z on her preferred surface?

You don't see Zenyatta playing fairly and meeting him at Royal Ascot.

How do we know this? It can't be because John Sheriffs says so, as anything that's come out of his mouth lately has been utter nonsense.

No doubt about it: she was LUCKY to beat him.

I think it's only fair that she fly over to Europe to meet him on his home court. I mean, you seem to think Rachel Alexandra should have done the same last Fall....so surely you are disappointed in Zenyatta not running against Rip Van Winkle at Royal Ascot.

Is Dahoss or Mike the EUNUCH coaching you? This was the BC CLASSIC after all. Those that wanted to show up, DID, and got their butts kicked. Those that didn't, only have their supporters to offer excuses. Everything else is just rhetoric from the 'LOSING' side. I know it sucks being on the wrong side. I know it sucks waiting for the BIG HORSE to lose. I know it sucks watching RA spit it out.

What's really interesting, however, is that you're now also pushing the Beyers on TURF. How'd they do with Dear Contender? Didn't quite make on Trips and Traps, either, huh?

How did the 3rd winner at Belmont yesterday do after having one of those " hemmed in down inside " trips that you mock me for talking about?

Different things work. The difference is that you are so dogmatic that you refuse to understand this and insist on mocking others for seeing many sides to the game.

Nice deflection on your Zenyatta nonsense. Then again, you can't answer the question, because all it does is further expose your built-in hypocracy.

I was in the office all day yesterday and have no idea about what happened at BEL. I'm not dogmatic-- I bet all sorts of trips. Clearly, you can't believe that someone who uses no figures, of any kind, yet has a competitive opinion would be 'dogmatic'? Is Mariano 'dogmatic' because he only relies on a single pitch?

I also don't think I mock any more than anyone else here.

Once upon a time you were a trip handicapper. Now, you're a NYRA and DRF/BEYER shill. You're indoctrinated and the best part of what you do/represent is suppressed for the 'cause'. You're clearly the Christopher Clavius of present day racing.
