Well they are before my time as well but they have these things called books...

And if you don't know the history of the game why do you feel so comfortable in placing Zenyatta among the greats of the game?

Come on, make a real arguement! None of that matters when talking about this subject. And who wants to read books when we have such things as message boards, Facebook Fan Groups, TVG and YouTube!

Thanksgiving, silly. Everything calms down when we stuff face with all that triptophan. I just hope nobody gets so full they loosen their belt or open their zipper. That opens up a whole new can of--nevermind.

Cannon,

It's one person's opinion but coming from Steve Davidowitz, you listen.

I believe for an absolute certainty that Zenyatta’s Vanity run reinforced the notion that she is the best race mare of my lifetime, if not one of the top horses of any age or sex since Secretariat, Affirmed, Seattle Slew, Ruffian and Spectacular Bid were dominating the 1970s.

Wow. What a tard. A complete and utter tard.

That's tardiness beyond even what you and Prostate Operator are capable of.

all i can say is he must be very, very young. no, really, i have no idea how old he is....i do know he's giving new meaning to the word 'hyperbole'. i think she's good, very good actually. best race mare? no. not of my lifetime, of a three month olds lifetime, maybe. one of the top horses since those in the '70's??? i guess it depends on how long of a list you make.

Funny that Sec picked up 5 lbs off the loss in the Whitney which was only a grade 2 back then. I know they had the mandatory 126 highweight back then but I'm sure there has to be a reason for this.

I always like the fact that Lucien Laurin couldn't see the finish of the Wood, and asked "who won the it?" Penery Chenery told him "You did" and walked away.

Prove Out did beat Riva Ridge in the Gold Cup in Riva's last race.

The funny thing is that if we had a hottub time machine and we could matchup Prove Out and Zenyatta on the track, PO would wipe up the track with her. And yet you wont find him on anyones top 50 lists.
