BEYER: Defining Zenyatta's historical role - Page 9

I would say Zenyatta probably won the race when Switch switched to the wrong lead late in the race and lost her momentum and stride.

Z was pretty lucky today.

I could be wrong though.

Nah Z didn't want to hurt her feelings. She's all about girl power and the girls gotta stick together.

No. It's not at Hollywood Park, either.

Nice little tune-up for the big mare

Time to go HOME now … and let it all hang out…

The notion that Zenyatta is the greatest horse of all time is the greatest mass misunderstanding of reality since people thought the world was flat.

declansharbor · #**170** 10-02-2010, 08:41 PM

While her place in history is grossly exaggerated, there's no denying that it takes a special horse to implement that particular running style and still own a perfect record (no matter who the competition may be). Horses that spot the field open lengths at the break EVERY time out, are bound to 'reap what they sew', sooner or later.

I find it compelling that her career's most interesting litmus test also doubles as her swan song. Those that knock her have ample opportunity to bet against her at the end of the month.

Nope, legitimate question considering someone else posted something about her receiving death threats.

Anyways, I read she flipped in the paddock so that answers my question.

I think she's going to win the Classic (if they don't puss out, big if). But if she does, she'll be the most overbet Classic winner in history.

Ok stupid now your jumping on the zenyatta band wagon! Are you kidding me just a few days ago you said rail trip was better! What happened? Hell i was impressed how fly down did in first attempt against older. As for you people still bashing zenyatta, are you kidding me! Shes won 19 RACES IN A ROW! I don't care who you are that is impressive! She's amazing and it seems like she like to toy with the horses up until the last moment and then kicks in and goodbye! One more race to go! She wins the classic, she is one of the best ever! Go zenyatta!

In my book, Zenyatta is tied for the best ever. I say if she retires now, she can go down as tied for the best ever.

If she runs in the BCC and loses (I think she'll lose), she gets dropped from the all time great list, since the other horse that won 19 in a row never lost.

It all hinges on the BCC!!

You could not ask for better drama.

I appreciate the way you inserted a random complement for Fly Down right in the middle of everything else here. Do you mind if I adopt that style? Wayne Catalano wins a lot of races at Arlington Park. I think it is a good posting style you demonstrate here, and I believe I might enjoy using it. It could be especially useful in the politics forum.

Are you singling her in the BC?

Going off that, I'll throw somethin out there that nebrady will enjoy...
