The stretch run of the Bama was not pretty to watch IMO, they all looked to be laboring. I wont aruge with you about the past 5 years, because the entire game has been down, and even you will agree with that. She is up there on accomplishments. Lets be realistic, at 9f even a filly like Flashing from last year is competitive with this gal. You cant have it both ways, when I was talking about the Grade 1 wins you totally bashed me, where is her fast race? Her 104 early on this year, thats it, and if a 104 is fast then that again is a product of the horses being slower.
BTW... I would take Proud Spell and Music Note over Blind Luck.

Considering what a herculean task shipping across the country is made out to be by some, this horse should be an all-time great already.

Blind Luck is pretty much impervious to pace, which is far more impressive on dirt than it is on synthetic. She takes her track with her, deep closers like her generally aren't going to run real big figures (and before you say anything, I never criticized Zenyatta for not running big figs) and she can run all day. Havre de Grace is no slouch and she buried the east coast's top filly. I don't care about Grade I/II/III designations, but Blind Luck has done nothing wrong and hasn't ducked anyone.

Zenyatta is impervious to pace, anyone who thinks differently is crazy.

Joey can speak for himself, but it's the connections and the a.ssholery that we get from her legion of fans that is easy to knock daily.

I am of the opinion that she's lost a step this year but that's for a different thread/topic.

OMG please dont start, she has not lost anything. She will take Blame apart. She gets beat if she gets a bad trip, and thats possible with Mike Smith, or if a horse like Quality Road freaks out on the front end... I am to the point where, I was always a fan of Z and Rachel, I just thought Z was better, but now I am starting to hate everyone else and praying Z just wipes them all out so everyone can STFU.

I'm kinda hoping Z collapses right before the wire and Mrs. Moss projectile vomits on Mr. Moss while he simultaneously has a massive heart attack and then they instantaneously self-combust.


Just so their worst fears will come true...not because I want them to die.

But that's the lesson that Blind Luck teaches us. Even a superior against-the-grain runner like BL has lost. In particular, she's lost on POLY, where it's a lot harder to go against the grain. And she's 4 for 4 on dirt where it's MUCH EASIER to do so. Hard to believe that those that appreciate what BL does can't make the next step and REALLY APPRECIATE what Z does. Z would CRUSH her on POLY -- and certainly on dirt --- with comparable setups/trips. As much as has been made about Z's last race, BL doesn't win with that setup. Has Z lost a step? Who knows? Just give her clear sailing and (reasonably) enough time and she'll run ANYTHING down.
