Oh, and Makybe Diva had no problem beating up on boys when she was 6 and 7, even giving them weight. A three-peat in the Melbourne Cup tops any of Zenyatta's three-peats by a mile (almost literally).

Don't think you get what I'm saying.

Couldn't care less if the 6yo mare began her career at age two or age six … made one career start or 80 … ran in zero stakes races or 50

What I'm saying is that it's highly unlikely that a 6yo mare … any 6yo mare … even, say, PE had she hung around … would be fast enough to win the BCC.

Hell, some pretty good 6yo males (C and the lightly raced PP, in particular) have tried to win the race and failed.


Also, not sure why you brought up the MC as I specifically said this race (BCC) … even put 'this' in caps.

Is there anything you can get straight?

When Pants said 'you' he meant you Smoothie, not me.

I'll use the all time greatest witticism to reply to that.


Are you ready?

Are you sitting down?

Ok, here goes!


Sharp post.

You'll have to ask Pants when he comes back on, Vic.

Think he gets his nails done on Friday mornings.


Frankly, I'd rather see somebody take IC out to the Bermuda Triangle … run a chum line till a few great whites show up … then make him take a dip.

Since Great Whites are typically found in cooler waters, I guess I'd be waiting a long time to take that dip.

Speaking of dips however, I'm happy to see your improved effort at insulting me.
