![]() O.k, so we chalk this race up as an experiment, first race off a layoff and a bad ride by Mike Smith.
The next race she should really be "the one". |

![]() Hope we never have to hear about her again. That was a no-excuse loss to a freaking turf horse.

![]() There was no evidence Macha was solely a turf horse. She never even tried dirt before, and the sire is Majestic Warrior, typically a dirt sire.

![]() Yeah, I'm sure she'll turn out to be a real superstar on dirt. She ran almost 3 lengths slower than $8,000 claimers did in the previous race.

![]() It does't look to good that the first race for 8k ran 2/5 faster.

![]() Well, if she's anything like her more famous older sister, they will split the variant.

![]() She was probably best the other day, and it was a six month layoff, but she's just not much horse. It happens. Zenyatta's legacy has not been diminished. Her minions can relax.

![]() almost as disappointing as when Rachel Alexander chickened out against her sister at Oaklawn.
P.S. Zen doesn't like y'all talking smack about her sister. You remember Zenyatta right ? the hoss who ran by every hoss she ever faced except one. Including running by Gio Ponti who got a huge jump on her and looked home free in the Classic. The worst part was that after the monster second place finish to Blame, you bozos still wouldn't admit you were wrong about her. At least at Northeastern they educated us enough to admit when we're wrong. Though it seldom happens |

Yes I remember Zenyatta, for her biggest accomplishment...learning to type with hooves. Seriously it's impressive. No thumbs but the Queen can work a space bar. She gushes it up on a blog with her fans there, many of whom were supposed to be brought to racing by her awesomeness but any of them who weren't into the sport before still aren't really. They are just part of a one horse fan club. Ugh I swear, Zenyatta deserves all kinds of praise because she's extraordinary but people that insist on being delusional about her deserving 2009 HOY just need to go rock themselves to sleep beneath the Zenyatta poster over their bed. |

![]() But according to him she's a Majestic Warrior, so she's a dirt star. They are both slow IMO. People on Facebook are calling the slower one Princess Ebby, its sickening.

Majestic Warriors switching to dirt is not a new angle. I've been using it for a while now with success. |

Honestly, I get the hoopla, but it should be clear to anyone who watched the race with an unclouded view/expectation that they saw an unsound, mediocre-at-best, mare at this juncture. If there is any sense of cognition in that barn, that was her last. |

![]() unsound ? mediocre at best ? .....cmon man isn't that a little harsh ?

![]() The mediocre at best comment is definitly not harsh just accurate

62 days between her first race (MSW) and her second race (N1X) - {excessive, but ok, benefit of the doubt.} 184 days between that race and the G3 try at Saratoga {that's not a freshening} 204 days off out of that race before running 2 seconds slower than 8 claimers the previous race on the card. Honestly, does that appear to you to be a sound horse? Sorry if the truth is ruffling some feathers, but no - not harsh in the least; on either accounts. |
