Not at all.

My worst nightmare would be to be woken up by Smoothie and Rock Tard Hen in negligee.

I really don't mind people being unabashed fans of a horse. What I mind is the illogical lack of reasoning and infantile powers of reasoning that go into calling Zenyatta the greatest of anything, except maybe synthetics.

I'm more than a little surprised that you crossed over to that side.

When did I call her the greatest? It was an amazing experience being at the Breeders Cup, but I don't know how that translates to viewing her as the greatest of all?

(and really, did we need that visual in negligees?!)

Clearly!!!!

I would note that the increase in on-track wagering was significantly lower percentage wise than the increase in attendance. So while folks might have gone to see Zenyatta, a lot of them didn't bet.

Sorry to actually make an on-topic post. I apologize.

Shocking....

I have a question for those in attendance Friday and Saturday. Do the attendance figures seem legit? From everything I have heard, it was dead on Friday, so that number seems inflated.

What was the number for Fri? Attendance was pretty low...the weather or I should say temperature could've had something to do with it

I wonder if Friday's number includes ticket sales that were two day packages and the people did not attend?

As you probably know CD is a huge facility. On most days people are out milling around but on Friday is was pretty cold with the wind whipping around. It was very crowded underneath and I was surprised when I spoke to my wife, who was at home watching, and she said it looked like there was not alot of people there.
