For you, I'll make an exception.

Was going to post Barbara Livingston's blog entry about Zenyatta, but the pretty horsey thing is her niche so I'll leave her out of it.

Zenyatta is retired. Done, folks. Bring on the upcoming three year old colts who may last 3 maybe 4 races. They will be superstars because Andy says so. If the number doesn't fit, give it a few days and it will.

Zenyatta may have come up a bit short in this year's Classic, but there's not a horse in this world who could have made up that much distance to just miss.

LOL. What in the hell are all of you going to do without Zenyatta and her connections to bitch, gripe and whine about?

LOL. I don't kiss anyone's azz. I'm not the one who has to go back to the drawing board. You have a fine, FINE group of colts coming up to put your money on. Be sure to bet plenty and bet often. You never know when one will be retired.

You're a walking stereotype for Zenyattards. Horses make up that kind of distance just about every day. I don't know where this idea that Zenyatta is the only deep closer in history came from.

Well, you know you are right. How many horse have been 20 + lengths out of a race to the point of not only losing contact with the field, but not even being in camera range.

The best you can fire at me is to accuse me of being a "Zenyattatard""?
If the appreciation of a very special thoroughbred horse puts me in that category, so be it.

Too bad you will never know how special that mare was. You don't deserve to.

Yes, if you watched more than six races a year, you'd realize it's fairly common. But I'm the mean old grinch who points out that the fact she's a deep closer doesn't enhance her greatness. Sure.

As far as making up distance,There are plenty of other horses. Here's one who WINS instead of "just missing"like Zenyatta did.
