Silverbulletday never got this kind of treatment from the press.

She was amazing as both a 2yo and 3yo filly through Sept. - and when she finally started losing races it was like everything she had done prior was supposed to be made null. Her performances in defeat were pretty damn good.

Well, at least AB didn't try to put some kind of spin on the loss like some on here have. Called it exactly what it was … a "debacle".

Even if RA can bounce back quickly from that taxing race, she would get killed in the BCC, imo. But not sure why AB thinks that running her in the LC is somehow "beneath her dignity", though.

No disgrace running in ANY race on BC weekend, imo

No but AS ( S ) tittered--yes that is what I mean--the minute Persistently crossed the wire that she at least beat a decent horse, unlike Zenyatta .

Ah the indiscreet charm of the not so petite bourgeousie bettor .

Pathetic, but predictable--and remind me again who are the tards ?

As a side note - I saw Andy at the track going down the escalator from the Club House on Monday. I asked how his meet was going he said ' I can't find a winner..I am a beaten man'

I laughed...

SBD, Go For Wand, and Serena's Song as 3yo fillies were the best I'd seen before last year (never saw Ruffian).....

And they still are. Except for maybe SBD.

I'm not sure how you could rate RA or SBD over Lakeway, II or Sardula, but that's fine.

The furthest back he/she went was Go For Wand, so I excluded anyone before her.

She was awesome. Lakeway owned her though before Jones nearly killed her.

Akinemod might have been the best of them all, but, alas, she is destined to be forgotten.

Good grief.... you idiots- yes that is an idiotic opinion shared by about 10 people who have seen a race- are starting to believe your own garbage like Roger Clemens.

That's nice. No room for discussion then, what you saw was law and shall be written.

Ah, let it go.

He must be having a bad day, or something. That reaction was pretty over the top.
