It was her best performance IMO, and I loved it, but to compare it to Personal Ensign is complete folly. Personal Ensign was hopelessly beaten at the 1/8th pole by the KENTUCKY DERBY winner, one of the 10 best fillies of my lifetime, not some barely above average G2 winner with a wacky stride.

Great athletes make things happen... Michael Jordan with buzzer beaters, Tiger Woods with big putts etc. This was another example... giving weight, going wide, giving St. Trinians a head start - everything - yet she still got it done. Pretty cool.

I know what you're saying, and if this was like every other sport, yeah... but Rocco Mediate is a good not great golfer, and he had Tiger on the ropes, yet Tiger won. Same thing today.

I think her biggest detractors, her biggest worshipers, and everybody in between can all agree on that.
That was fun.

I dont get all the talk about St. Trinians and the way she looks.... How does that make her a 50k claimer? Its well documented she has a ton of problems and can barley walk straight.

I said she looked like a 50k claimer in deep stretch. And she did.

The point I was trying to make is that Zenyatta shouldn't have been in the race to begin with. It's embarrassing that she's beating up on the same broads year after year.

Come to think about it, Macho Again walks kinda slow in post parades, like what the F..K does it matter... Northern Dancer was a shrimp by horse standards, the Rachelites are reduced to this crap...keep the laughs coming.
