You are very welcome.

I was surprised to see DeRosa's tweet on Saturday.

It was interesting that apparently Ed's anti-Zen feelings have never been far beneath the surface.

This entire issue though really seems to boil down to ..........

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet."

it did put me in mind tho of ron ellis, in regards to his mare include me out.

oh, she never gets the press she deserves, there's a bias, blah blah.

and then she got beat pretty fair and square.

people knocked easy goer because 'he only won in new york'. horses are going to get criticized, especially when they get ridiculous amounts of bizarre fans and people saying they're the best ever.
for every action there's an opposite and equal reaction-even regarding horses.

zenyattas people did what they thought was best for her. she didn't face as much as she should have to get as much praise as she got. they went after the streak, and they got it. that was their big goal. they can't complain if they don't get as much good press from everyone, since they made their choice on what was most important.
and i think many gave her more due when coming in second to blame than they did for all her other races, because it was the only time she really seemed to have to try, and she ran hard against the best competition she'd ever faced.

but the bs about her breaking every other fillies heart and stuff like that...yeah, that's what drives some people bonkers.
