If Blame's fractions were comfortable, what were Zenyatta's?

At least you admit shes great.

retirement community fractions

They campainged her like a Champion. No owners would bring a mare like that back and risk that unblemished record. Blame is a very very good horse. Id love to see him come back and be a superstar but they have already put him up. How can you knock owners who keep one around like Zenyatta. Regardless of who she faced this year, she was coming off a Breeders Cup win. Whether you like her or not, it was nice for racing, and nice to see her get to this point undefeated. I think they managed her career flawlessly. It all added to the drama, and pagentry of this glorious game.

As opposed to her other races, where she's just flying early.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I'm just assuming she is. Although that field is one of the worst Classic fields of all time...what she did was pretty damn impressive.

My beef is primarily with Jerry and Ann Moss. It's pretty evident in previous posts.

I'm out.

It's better than "jerkoff".

Wow, I agreee... The connections ruined this, all of it.

Well we'll just agree to disagree.

I understand where you're coming from. The whole "They're less of a p.ussy than so and so" it's just not worth proving wrong because this country is overrun with that line of thinking.

For the record Im not a PC Dem. I just think they really gave the fans something we don't see anymore. A horse running into their 6 year old season.

It is your fault.

Apparently The Bidiot doesn't think that a final half mile time of 51.27 is indicative of a fast pace.

Nor does he seem to realize that Z was less than five back of Blame with about a half mile to go.

Oh yeah, that's right, Z stumbled and almost went over the rail which cost her her usual runaway win.

Blame probably would have won by more if Gomez didn't have to put him in a hard drive late on the far turn to keep Lookin At Lucky from getting the jump on him. Gomez could have waited longer if the only horse he had to run down was Etched.

Thank You, Jesus

Yes, this makes a LOT of sense.

Well, I've enjoyed watching her compete. She always puts on a show. She entertains, and that (entertainment) is something that is not always easy to find in this game. I think the team of her haters deserve some credit for pointing out the quality of her fields, and the surface she raced on. She was greatly bothered by the dirt coming back at her. This shouldn't have been the 1st time she faced a large tough field on dirt. Have to admit that the connections could of won this race if they'd of listened just a bit.

So a 5/16th run is not much more taxing than a 3/16th run?
