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.

Hey, going from Hollywood to Del Mar counts as shipping.

You must have missed that press snippet where he wanted to make sure all of her fans in California get to see her one last time, again.

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

You're lost dude. There were about 5 threads about it last year. Lookem up....And just b/c TVG is the Zenyatta tv network doesnt mean you have to be a lackey.

I have no idea what people would have criticized Moss for. I think he has handled himself great with regards to Zenyatta. He never said that he thought she deserved HOY over Rachel. He has never said that she is better than Rachel. He has been very humble about Zenyatta. I don't know how a guy could have handled himself better.

Dude, did CSC hack your account here on DT?

I have a lot of respect for your opinions on here, but wow, you've lost it.

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?

I don't think they're afraid of losing. She's not a great shipper and they don't want to knock her out. If they were afraid of losing, would they have run in the BC Classic last year instead of the Distaff? If they were afraid of losing would they have agreed to ship to Oaklawn to face Rachel?

Seems quite clear that they were very afraid of losing something else that they very much thought they deserved no matter what, and that's exactly WHY they ran her in the Classic at the last second.
