Default Zenyatta's Quest

I feel bad for the horse, not the connections -- Mike Smith said the dirt in her face was a hinderance:
"She just wasn't leveling out like I wanted to" Smith said. "There was the dirt, of course, hitting in her face--a lot of it. She just wasn't used to that part, it just left her with too much to do."

This is the result of her connections's "protect the win streak, stay at home" campaign. If she had raced at Saratoga, not even necessarily in the Whitney, but in the filly/mare races, she likely would have had her win streak intact and gotten some dirt in the face experience. I think that was the difference for Z. With more dirt in the face experience, my guess is she wins be daylight like Goldikova.

Score board, Baby. Blame won, and is Horse of the Year.

Frustration should not be misconstrued as anger.

You're a very greedy boy. Gramma doesn't like greedy boys.

Welcome, skyfire. Lots of Zenyatta topics in the Paddock forum.

Woofie, you're hopeless.

Love him, leave him, love him, leave him. Decisions, decisions.

I'll think about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.

This thread has lots of potential.




Something the 2 newbees lack in barrels full.

Still can't believe it...that concubine of a moo cow.

Unreal.




That's about the worst display of cheap speed I ever heard of.She actually had the nerve to show her face in getting it back?I remember her clearly and felt the Witch vibe immediately,but didn't think even she could do something like this.NAPALM is too good for her.




I'm raving.


But she needs to be greased.
