Why is it that the focus is always on the Zenyattards? Nobody with a brain is making (or has made) outlandish claims about the mare.

Of course, these claims weren't put forth by the opposition equivalents to the Ztards but by supposedly VERY VERY knowledgeable horseplayers.

When you hold such beliefs, and you're proven ridiculously WRONG, the only recourse is to come after the Zenyattards. After all, those holding them have been LAUGHABLY discredited for any of the non TARD Z supporters; and just about everyone else, for that matter.

When you're DRUGS, for example, and you're Classic pick is the same as Mike the EUNUCH's (arguably #1 Z basher) or Tom's (#1 alltime for money spent on other people's ideas/programs) or RH10', it sort of puts things in perspective. ha ha ha

If you're a BEYERITE, you're feeling vindicated by the head win. Empowered even. If you thought that Blind Luck was BETTeR than Z, like one of our more prominent Fig makers, you're putting your woeful trip handicapping/intuitive pace comprehension skills on display by claiming that Z got a perfect trip and Fly Down got the worst of it.

Whatever gets you through the day.

It all makes for some nice comic relief.

I don't know who you are talking to--perhaps the voices in your head?

The only thing I can say for sure is that anyone who took that ridiculously low price on Zenyatta on the Classic doesn't know the first frigging thing about betting the races. If somebody wanted to make her the most likely winner--OK, the was certainly within the range of reasonableness. And she almost did win (a polite way of saying she lost). But it took a certain kind of imbecile to gag down the price she was being offered at. If you are that kind of imbecile, hey, more power to you--I took some of your money home. Hopefully no one is counting on ever inheriting a cent from you.
