She showed up for three races. Woo. Hoo. Let's just induct her into the Hall of Fame today.

Yes I believe what I wrote. Champions do not chase contenders. What do you think?

So you are saying Sherrifs lobbied for the plastic in So Cal just for Zenyatta? Keep digging.

That's not what I said at all you rube.

What makes her a champion? Two wins, each at the end of the season? If that's all it takes, we might as well just cover them in bubble wrap and push them right into the shed at birth.

Whether or not you want to admit it, racing in California is completely different from racing everywhere else and Zenyatta had an overwhelming advantage against any east coast horse that would ship in. I really can't believe people still argue this.

What was everyone elses excuse for not showing up in the Apple Blossom?

If 2 BC wins and 11 G1 wins is not enough to call one a champion then I must say you have very very high standards.

Yeah, those restricted G1's against the same four horses on the tires are real royal rumbles.

This is what Zenyattards do. She stays in her backyard all year, beats nobody, then they go "HAY SHE WON BC RACES AND G1'S SO SHE'S THE QUEEN OF EVERYTHING".

To argue that they haven't ducked top competition with this 'champion' is like arguing that the sky is blue. I can't believe her campaigns are good enough for supposed racing fans. Your standards are extremely low.
