Oh my … something tells me there wouldn't be quite as much chatter about Goldilocks if that were the case…

Oh man, I can't wait till Zenyatta gets USCed in the BC Classic this year on a dirt track...

You see unlike fake dirt aka rubber aka synthetic tracks, turf and dirt have different conditions which affect the ground and some horses don't handle soft ground or sloppy tracks as well as they do good to firm turf or fast dirt...but I understand your a little slow and not the brightest bulb out there, so I am happy to explain it to you.

Goldikova won 2 BC Miles without her "rabbits." She's an all time great no matter how she does the rest of the season.

I am not a Quality Road blowhard, but lets see, didn't run his best race apparently, but whoops, he still ran FASTER than Zenyatta when he didn't fire his best.

By the way, when's the last time you have picked a winner...I would guess the Hirsch stakes and I'll bet you had Zenyatta.

Smooth Operator has only bet 18 times in his life. 3-5 odds are juicy in his world.

Actually it was 10 times. He was distracted by the Reggie Bush scandal before he realized Zenyatta was pretty good.

Wonder if he returned his mini-Smooth operator-Heisman too?

no, because she's lost.

the best runners ever evidently are zenyatta, colin, candy ride and danzig, as none have lost. secretariat, man o war, dr fager ,etc. none as good as the undefeateds. you silly, you.

I can't believe you've fallen in with the Zenyattards.

What about Pepper's Pride????????

Goldikova also ran on 2 weeks rest... (not that it's an excuse, just a fact) imagine that for a champion race horse to do...
