And to pick up from where Zenyatta is leaving off...

He also finishes strongly.

Reminds me of comments made regarding Conveyance a little less than a year ago.

Hopefully there are no Endorsement-types in the BC this year.

I never seriously considered Conveyance a major triple crown threat (by TC, I mean any of the three races). I thought perhaps he could get the lead and steal it, but that clearly was never going to happen with the amount of speed being aimed at the derby.

If I ever did say anything like this about Conveyance, which I'm pretty sure I did not, I said it in jest.

Was I routing for him though? Yep.

Given his two-turn efforts, it probably would have been better if you routed for him.

Play on words, but yeah, his last two were a drop off.

I think his derby was a whole lot better than most though. That was a wicked pace he set.

His two wins at a mile before the New Mexico race were decent enough.

Betsy will agree with me that Old Trieste's Derby pace in '98 was much better.

Old Trieste was tons a better racehorse than Conveyance.

Remember his dam, Lovlier Linda?

That was a cool mare.

Sorry but I just wanted to see if there were any new and quotable comments and found what i think is a gem.

I often wonder during those moments of staring into space, if they are remembering who they really are.
