Zenyatta

[CSC]

A very exciting race, Blame looked like he walks to victory but Zenyatta makes a race out of it when she looked like she was totally out of it, she will get more respect out of finishing second than winning the race.

You don't think she ran a great race? From where she came from and the trip of the winner, I think even the critics can admit she did.

Of course I do, which I already said in this thread.
That still doesn't mean that the portion of your previous post which I highlighted makes any sense whatsoever.

Sometimes a loss in defeat when you take into account race dynamics is just as impressive, look at Seattle Slew's loss to Exceller, that race did more for him than any in his career.

There is no doubt she ran a great race....better than i thought she would. Glad she lost though, the better than Big Red comparisons were getting old.....

There is a reason I don't post here often.....This board is into nothng positive in horse racing. Cutting down a great mare and gloating when she loses is the rule of the road here.

Perhaps you should try Thoroughbred Champions... Lots of her fans over there...

If we continue on like this the Z threads will never die.

Let's do this. Let's decide who she should be bred to. First of all, who is tall enough to, you know, mount her?

For no other reason than he's my favorite sire, I vote for Tiznow. The horsey in my pic is Tizzy boy.

Ok, someone guess next who Mr. Z will be.

If we wait a year she can be bred to Blame, he should have "done enough" by this time next year, right?

the funny thing is, her ardent and airheaded fans who know nothing about racing will be incredibly disappointed, while anyone who knows anything about racing will say that was her best effort ever. yes, she lost. but she showed more today against the best field she's ever faced than against those soon forgotten cupcakes in cali.

it also shows glaringly just how much her chickenhearted connections have cost her. she should have been racing like today all year, instead of racing in paid glorified workouts.

I'm hardly dissapointed, I thought she ran great, answered if she could run well on dirt, with less than an ideal trip. No excuses she lost, but she ran great and hats off to her. Case closed.

i said airheaded fans who know nothing about racing....are you including yourself in that group, or in the latter group who understands the game and tips their hat to her? thanks for comprehending my post.

It is so enlightening to be put in a blanket assessment of Z's fans as airheaded. Am I ardent? You bet your ass I am. She may have lost by a head, but look who finished behind her.

Am I disappointed? Sure am, but Blame was very game. My girl made up a huge amount of distance to just miss. I could not be more proud of her.

She is a champion, despite the garbage that has been written. On another forum, where she has been sliced and diced unmercifully, those guys have shown a level of respect for her performance today. And, they didn't refer to Z's fans as some sort of circus show. Some of them got what made her fans so passionate about her.

She will probably be retired and I am glad. Posts like yours, after a race of this magnitude, just reinforce this mare could never do enough to suit.

It's time for another horse to take over the mantle of not being able to satisfy the armchair trainers.

another poster with comprehension issues. or maybe i wrote it poorly to begin with. i was addressing the zenyatta fans who don't understand racing, not zenyatta fans who do. i said anyone who understands racing will know it was her best ever performance, and far from disappointing. glad you read the whole thing.
