Performance of the Weekend?

[Indian Charlie]

Uncle Mo had a nice workout. I didn't see it, but it had to be awesome.


I was more impressed with Blame than most anyone else this weekend.

I still say Zenyatta likely only won because of Switch getting green late.

The filly was tired. She didn't switch because she was "green" all of a sudden. Many horses swap their leads when they get tired. There's a couple of pictures up of both horses at the wire. Z's ears are straight up and Switch's are back. Switch ran a terrific race, but the pictures show who was well within themelves.

I am amazed at what some people don't see. They can't be watching a horse race.

What a surprise....Zenyatta fans pretending they "get it" or are seeing something others can't.

There's an original concept.

Has nothing to do with being a fan of Zenyatta, it's more a part of the game. Like some sit and wait for someone to tell them who to watch and when to bet, I prefer to find them on my own.

As do I. It just seems to me the Zenyatta fans are always acting like they see things the rest of the people don't. Then again, most of her fans don't bet, so that might factor into it.

I saw that too. Horses defineatly swap their leads when tired. Especially a classy animal who was probably trying to do too much to hold that amazon off. Would be interesting to go back and see what became of all the fillies that finished 2nd to Queenie.

Didn't you already incorrectly do that on another board?

So, she got tired and had a sudden heart attack, is that what you are saying.

She ran her last 1/16th in under 6.1.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. She tired real bad there. I guess the extra three lengths she pulled away from the third place horse there in the last 1/16th means what? Let me guess, the horse in third was being eased?

Jesus freakin Crist. Just when you think the Zenyattards cannot possibly get a lower IQSF (Intelligence Quotient Speed Figure), they go out there and obliterate their previous lows.

And a freeze frame photograph showed their ears in different positions?

I suppose it's not possible their ears were being flicked about, and that their ears were not pinned in those respective positions. Perhaps, just perhaps, the photo(s) caught their ears that way.

Jesus freakin Crist. Just when you think the Zenyattards cannot possibly get a lower IQSF (Intelligence Quotient Speed Figure), they go out there and obliterate their previous lows. Again.

IC---

Are you obsessed with medical mischegoss ??? No one mentioned a heart attack but you your failed efforts to dramatize ...

I believe the discussion was that tiring horses may swap leads--and they do, and she did .

While you are diddling yourself about the Ztards talking about ears--laid back ears indicate effort or anger--upright ears indicate lack of effort and pleasant attitude .

Any retarded pony clubber knows this .

Do you even read your own foolishness ???

Everything the prior posters said is true, and trying to make it into fantasy just indicates how little you know about horses--regardless which horse you like or put money on .

Freakin Mike Smith! Hitting that poor horse 10 times in the stretch when it was so clear that she was well within herself...

Really? She's now supposed to win without having the use of the whip? She's supposed to run down a horse, that had gotten just about the best possible trip imaginable, EASILY? Is that where we are with Z now?

What other horses are held to similar standards?

You've become so badly brainwashed that you actually took that post seriously.

God is that sad.

This from someone who is posting on TWO forums, consistently, about the topic. You haven't done this much SPIN since POTN ran 2nd in the Derby.

Why don't you go back to what you do best? You know, that real insightful race analysis. I mean, isn't it time we heard your argument about how QR can easily get 10F, again? That was a gem.

And you have the nuts to go around taking shots at others. Then again, since your 'stars' have gone down, you're reduced to taking the offensive against the 'opposition'.

A simple " oops, I can't believe I misread that " would have sufficed. Then again, I guess with some of another's insanity today, you felt a need to try to compete.

Ya know, everyone doesn't hate you. But, I guess you can keep trying to change that if need be.
