You might be good at a lot of things, Rupert, but I think this thread has shown that you really weren't very good at watching races on at least one Saturday a couple weeks back.

So all these people, myself included who think that Zenyatta looked really stiff and uncomfortable in the early going (not to mention Mike Smith who admitted that he thought about pulling her up) are all hallucinating or imagining things?

It occurs to me that you're picking perhaps the one valid point out of like 37 that you've made on this thread to prove that you've been right all along.
