Ok, She's clearly better than Secreatariat and Spectacular Bid? Is that better, or do I have to go way further and say that Pepper's Pride is also better than those two?

The truth is we will never know how good she is. I think we have to come to grips with that. As a board family

We will see how she runs in the BC Classic this year. That should give people a better idea.

Why would you possibly think that? There is almost no chance of that. Their goal all year has been the BC Classic. If she's healthy, she'll run in the Classic. If she not healthy, she won't run at all. She's not going to run in the Distaff.

I sure hope the connections of Goldikova is keeping an eye. Forget the mile, and find out if and where Zenyatta is running on BC day.

Who are you argung with? I didn't hear anyone say that she is better than Secretariat or Spectacular Bid.

The Pepper's Pride argument is a joke. How can you compare a mare that's won 16 graded stakes races in a row including the BC Classic to a mare that was runing against New Mexico breds? It's absurd.

The Shirreffs 3 calls a day to TVG lately about whether he will run or not is grotesque. I hope he never wins another race.

Why would you blame him? You should blame TVG. They are the ones that keep hounding him every day. It's not his fault.

Dumb argument. And Moss' classless actions at the HOY ceremony last year speak volumes.

Interesting that he would rather run her on a surface he absolutely hates over shipping out of Cali.

How is it a dumb argument? And what did Moss do at the HOY ceremony that was classless?

So why point the horse to a race at a surface they don't like? That's stupid. Are they really that afraid of shipping/losing?
