PG,
Can you ask Doug a question for me? If not for the presence of Zenyatta, how many of these California Grade I stakes would be in serious trouble with having their grading lowered because of the quality of the rest of he field. I ask because Doug's breakdown of the fields would interest many of us. Great list! Thanks in advance.

Here is Dougs response....

I think it's a tricky question because the graded stakes committee is capable of doing surprising things without logic from time to time. I suppose the Clement Hirsch at Del Mar .. it was a Grade 2 when Zenyatta beat Model two years ago - it was raised to Grade 1 status last year and Zenyatta beat ...

I guess he has more....

a lot of the Grade 1 races out West in which Zenyatta has beaten weak competition in have GREAT history to them. They are the kind of races that can survive a few years of mediocre winners and still hold status even if Zenyatta wasn't around to clown the nags

Tell DougS we miss his trivia questions and lists. I hope he recovers from whatever ails him.

I am in good physical health. I survived a trip to the ER for what I thought was a heart attack or stroke.

Turns out that it was nothing. After they did an EKG and ran blood tests and asked me repeatedly if I was on any drugs ... they finally released me.

I miss this board a lot.

Facebook blows like nothing else.

The worst are the annoying bitches who post everyday with their home run trot about how "incredible" and "amazing" their boyfriend is. Nobody cares. He's a douchebag who's only with you for temporary butt reaming. Get over it. You'll be dumped by July 4th.

And there pets!!! Fucl< you and your mother fucl<ing 6 posts a week about your cats or dog. I'd much rather read about the latest level Cannon Shell just conquered on 'Magna Carta: Knights dressed like Fags' or how John DaSilva just Iced another ho on 'Mafia Wars'

When Justin Dew's analysis of the 19th best movie of all-time is the most interesting thing you've read on there all day ... it's enough to make me want to kill.

Oh yeah ... and you're also subjected to the appalling atrocities that Zenyatta fans type up.

Such as brilliance like this from So. Cal clocker Bruno De Julio...

all your rhetoric is circumstantial to the evidence that Zenyatta is the best thoroughbred on this planet at this time - after all 77,000 people can't be wrong
That - of course - is only when Bruno isn't serving up his compelling.. and far more rational analysis on International Soccer ... get a load of this ...

The first round is a chess match. Germany is the only country that goes out there and blow people out. Germany plays their hand and teams adjust in the second round. Italy, Brazil, Argentina get their legs under them, first of all, the teams need cohesiveness and two they all play on different continents and leagues. Germany will be on everyone's ... See Morefinal after the first round and get knocked out by the semi finals. On the Brazil game, North Korea is an unknown and i have been impressed with their counter attacking prowess. They are going to give teams some fits with their speed.

The often maligned Robinho has been awesome and great thru ball. one touch score...That's Brazil!

Sorry guys ... gotta run ... it's been fun catching up. Joe Silverio wants to know if I looked at Colonial yet.

I think it can be hard to tell. Panic attacks will trick you into thinking there is something and will feel just as real as something more serious.
