I now have a headache from the stress. Thanks alot, Mike.

I swear I was having palpitations. I actually shrieked "no!!" a little too loudly when I thought she was about to lose. I'm sure my neighbor enjoyed that.

They should just run her until she is like 12.

Garcia rode a great race, I wasn't sure I would ever say that.

DRF had an article up a while back, shes crooked as hell according to Mitchell. When they got her, they were not even sure she could run anymore.

I think I'm finally understanding the folks who like Zenyatta. She certainly gives you a charge every time she runs. Has this horse ever won an easy race?

I think her biggest detractors, her biggest worshipers, and everybody in between can all agree on that.
That was fun.
