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.

If Blame's fractions were comfortable, what were Zenyatta's?

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.

That was awesome!

That was even better than the Tebow version of that clip.

Sadly, they will take that video down pretty soon, so to everyone else, go see it now!

Well, I've enjoyed watching her compete. She always puts on a show. She entertains, and that (entertainment) is something that is not always easy to find in this game. I think the team of her haters deserve some credit for pointing out the quality of her fields, and the surface she raced on. She was greatly bothered by the dirt coming back at her. This shouldn't have been the 1st time she faced a large tough field on dirt. Have to admit that the connections could of won this race if they'd of listened just a bit.

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.
