Uh no. Great athletes face the best on a consistent basis.

I think I may have jinxed St. Trinians with my premature shout of glee at thinking Zenyatta was finally going to lose. A second later, the outcome seemed never in doubt.

No doubt Smith had to ride her a heck of a lot harder today than he had to in any of her previous several starts.

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.

Just take a break for a few hours and let reality set in.

Smith's dream horse. No need to worry about going 9 wide in a six horse field.

Actually it was a 4 horse field with 2 donkeys

Counted 10 cracks of the whip by Smith, for whatever that is worth (probably absolutely nothing).

Looked like she didn't put her head down and really start running until he cracked her a few times.

I'm sure Mike Smith loved that comparison to him being Jay Z and Zenyatta Beyonce, wtf was that guy thinking

You mean Smith isn't banging Zenyatta?

#13 06-13-2010, 08:07 PM

I'll never root for Zenyatta. Her fans and TVG are unbearable. I wanted to reach through the television and taze Rudolph for calling her "The Queen"

I can think of at least a couple DTers who would probably volunteer to help him out with that.

He is an embarassment. Worse than running the damn catheter commercials on there.

Oh I know... the pace was solid, the race setup, St. Trinian puts the race away, and laid down in the final few strides, but none-the-less Zenyatta was beat at the 16th pole, but dug-in.

She ran as good as a juiced to the gills, grade 2 polytrack mare can. Kind of reminds me of Shifty Shiek almost beating Slew o Gold.

OldDog · #20 06-13-2010, 08:07 PM

Well done, big mare.
