How is being closer to a meltdown pace a worse trip?

The Bid · #7 11-07-2010, 11:28 AM

The second tier of horses, blame especially, had a dream trip, comfortable fractions. Blame is supposed to finish up well, hes a champion, he did. Zenyatta is not supposed to make that a picture.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I thought Blame was the better horse and, it sickens me to say this, had a much tougher campaign.

The results yesterday are accurate. Mrs. and Mrs. Moss got what they deserved. Now they can "What If" the rest of their lives. Maybe if they have the good fortune of getting another great horse in the barn they won't be such chicken s.hits and take some more chances with it.

I'm just assuming she is. Although that field is one of the worst Classic fields of all time...what she did was pretty damn impressive.

My beef is primarily with Jerry and Ann Moss. It's pretty evident in previous posts.

They campainged her like a Champion. No owners would bring a mare like that back and risk that unblemished record. Blame is a very very good horse. Id love to see him come back and be a superstar but they have already put him up. How can you knock owners who keep one around like Zenyatta. Regardless of who she faced this year, she was coming off a Breeders Cup win. Whether you like her or not, it was nice for racing, and nice to see her get to this point undefeated. I think they managed her career flawlessly. It all added to the drama, and pagentry of this glorious game.

Well we'll just agree to disagree.

I understand where you're coming from. The whole "They're less of a p.ussy than so and so" it's just not worth proving wrong because this country is overrun with that line of thinking.

The Bid · #17 11-07-2010, 11:44 AM

For the record Im not a PC Dem. I just think they really gave the fans something we don't see anymore. A horse running into their 6 year old season.

I would say that 2 campaigns where she only loses a single 5 million dollar race by a nose and yet she gets no horse of the year awards would be flawed. Had they run/won in the Hollywood Gold Cup or Pacific Classic (either year) they probably would have won the award. They chose the path of least resistance and blew it.

I'm waiting for Shirreffs and Moss to say she lost because the crowd was too loud.

An unbeaten record can just mean you haven't gone against tougher competition, like (forgive me) Peppers Pride. An unbeaten record does not determine greatness; winning top-class races against the best competition available determines greatness. Sometimes top horses end up with long unbeaten streaks, but streaks in and of themselves are not of any special value.

Champions seek out the best competition; only that can validate a championship. If Ribot had stuck around in Italy beating other Italians, he wouldn't have been considered an all-time great. But instead, he went to England, won the KGVI&QE, went to France twice and won two Arcs. THAT is why he is a legend.
