I will revel in reading about the future champions of this sport in upcoming months. You know, those world beaters that run a great race where the visual is so impressive, the horse is hailed as some monster champion. They might not get out of their own way after that, but that one race will elevate them to mystical status.

Go for it.

LOL.

And, if you had a clue about horses, you wouldn't post something so stupid as this. If you had a clue about horses, oh wait, you don't ..............never mind.

Looks like Theatrical is doing a Zenyatta BCC like furious rally to try to take the DT tard of the year title away from Smoothie.

As valiant an effort as he's putting in, I think he's going to come up short.

True greatness involves sustained speed from start to finish, something Theatrical fails to grasp both about horses and posting to win a year end award.

Theatrical is a she, not a he. HOY doesn't mean jack **** to me. That's for idiots like you and others to decide.

Give me Zenyatta's victory in the Distaff, her victory in last year's BCC and her near miss this year. You tell me what other mare delivered performances of this magnitude three years straight.

There is no HOY that will EVER come close to equalling those performances If she wins HOY this year, I would be ecstatic, but if she doesn't, I will always know she would have kicked Rachel Alexandra's ass into the next dimension. LOL

Jesus. This kind of scatterbrained stupidity should be bottled and studied.

Congratulations on being a female idiot instead of a male idiot.

So, which is it? You give a crap about HOY, or you don't?

Or, is it that you only care about it if Zenyatta wins it?

By the way, I like your use multiple use of LOL in this thread. It reminds me of your soul mate.

you don't care how about hoy, but your bitterness towards the horse who won hoy last year clearly shows thru. since when did rachel become the arbiter of who is good vs who is not? exactly what case are you attempting to make with your last line? after all, if zenyatta, as you assert, is the best ever-why even mention rachel? seems you'd be better served in comparing zenyatta to secretariat, citation, the bid, etc.

oh... wait. nevermind, she doesn't compare to them, therefore putting huge, gaping holes in your theory. there are plenty of hoy's who don't come close to equalling zenyatta, they exceed her. you're correct on that score.

Do you mean no mare has ever delivered performance like running Rinterval into the ground, or catching a lead swapping Switch in the shadow of the wire? Or do you mean no HOY who has done so? Uh, within a few years of one another I saw HOY's like Forego, Affirmed and Spectacular Bid hold amazing form over 3 (or more) years. Seattle Slew's career must have slipped your mind as well. More recently Skip Away and Cigar were not just average horses either.
For mares, how about Bayakoa. In 1989 she won the Santa Margarita, the Apple Blossom, the Hawthorne, the Milady and the Vanity by July 15th. She bombed at Del Mar before taking the Ruffian Spinster and Distaff (from the fallen Go For Wand.) I daresay that Colonial Waters, Goodbye Halo, Open Mind and Gorgeous were better than anything Z faced this year excepting St. Trinians and the BCC.

The worst thing that happened to Z was her win streak. once it reached a certain point, she was handled with an eye to making her unbeaten rather than proven. Her to races in the BCC prove that she should have been running in races like the Hollywood Gold Cup, the Big Cap, or travelling to the Personal Ensign or maybe trying grass.
Between the two, I would alway rank Goldikova over Zenyatta. Why? Because while she lost a few races, she always raced at the highest levels. She proved herself time and time again in high quality company.
