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.

LOL. Do I care whether you think she's great? Hell, no. I couldn't care less what you think of her.

What's left is a group of upcoming newly turned three year old colts who will carry on the tradition of serious lack of talent, but more importantly, a SERIOUS lack of training. Want to know why so many wear tongue ties? It's to keep their tongues from hitting their knees in the stretch when they are asked to go a distance of ground.

Good luck to you. The best horse ever is on her way to Kentucky.

I gotta hand it to you. "Next year's three-year-olds suck and have no stamina so that means Zenyatta's even greater" is a new one.

Not only is Zenyatta the only deep closer in horse racing, she's also the only 10-furlong horse.

You are a horse person. Putting up these two links is a plastic way out.

I expected better of you.

Actually, it is not a comparison whatsoever. You choose to make it so.

She is retired. The three year old colts will suck like they normally do.

Not my fault that the only horse that exhibited championship form for over three years happened to be a mare from California.

The newly turned 3 year old colts will be as incompetent as ever. The fact they have male genitalia will excuse their sorriness.

Word up. That's why she's a lock for her third HOY in a row.

The very best horse, DaHoss. Don't expect you to have clue about her because you never did. Along with quite a few others.


LOL. She is done and you will never see a horse of her magnitude ever again. Never.

You think she is the best horse ever...but I don't have a clue? Makes sense. She was a very nice horse. Horses like Skip Away, Holy Bull, Formal Gold and Cigar would have trounced her. I don't see many arguements for them as best horse ever.

LOL

Everybody is in entitled to an opinion. Theatrical is a big Zenyatta fan. Nothing wrong with that.

I love this arguement. No one said everyone isn't entitled to their opinion. But it doesn't mean that people can't agree or disagree with said opinion on a message board. Isn't that the point of these boards? To give our opinions and discuss them?

Being a big fan is fine. Having no perspective about the truly great horses that have come before her is a shame. You can be a fan and be realistic at the same time. At least some can.
