7/24 (MTH): Lady's Secret S. feat. Rachel Alexandra

Jess might as well die. All he really had going for him was the mirage of "sportsmanship."

Both connections are selfish and have hurt the sport more than helped it. It's absolutely embarrassing that two of the best horses in training have pansies for owners.

I agree with that, but it seems like most people only want to knock Z's connections. No one should ever forget, she did show up at Oaklawn.

And that is supposed to make up for their cowardly campaign last year and the rest of this year?

Please.

They did send Curlin to the BCC, why not send her? Are they the same horse? My opinion all along is Zenyatta is superior, but I agree the connections of both are pitiful.

Remember when a horse's greatness was defined by winning great races instead of trying to inflate and protect won/loss records? Its even made worse in today's age because you only have so many chances to race. If you use those opportunities on bad races, you end up trying to define a career with a handful of races.
