I can't wait for a Zenyatta fan to say something intelligent.

Actually, that's not entirely true.

I've given up on that ever happening.

Yep.

I seem to have this ability to attract stupidity, and it's probably because almost everyone is an idiot.

Nice to see, thanks for posting. Doesn't look nearly as chubby as she did earlier in the year.

They're getting her fit (a MONUMENTAL task, apparently -- they had to call in the 3 wise men, fire her exercise rider, and who knows what else) just in time to retire her.

The designation of handily was once again given to Rachel's workout. Perhaps it's just how she works according to the clocker up at Saratoga but I'm interested to see if there's a description of the workout.

i dont follow NY seriously, but what does handily mean there? it's ridiculous to me that at some tracks Handily means under a bit of urging, and at some tracks it means no urging at all.

i think So cal switches handily and breezing by how we label it here in the NW

"A handily or in hand work means the horse was going easily and didn't need much urging. A horse that works handily or in hand is one that is full of run and wants to run. A horse that is breezing is being urged to move faster by the rider. Of the two workouts, the H is more impressive because it usually means a horse is full of run."
