I don't see anyone critical of how screwed up a sport it is when the two best horses, who happen to both be female, can not even hook up on racings "championship" day, because of the surface.
People keep talking about slots, is that really the issue that the sport has, or is it a complete ineptitude to put out the best product for the people that truly support the sport, not people pulling one armed bandits.

you make the most sense of all of these posts. it has nothing to do with zenyatta or rachel. the sport got screwed with the advent of these ridiculous poly tracks. no one wants to admit it. horse racing was already losing its following and then this. then the "morons that be" run it twice at the same venue. just asking for trouble. i gaurantee it will be more than just rachel that don't show up along with the handle and many fans. i bet about 50 bucks on that crap last year. sure a bunch of turf horses will show up because they have an advantage, why wouldn't they? but for 2 years in a row true dirt only horses take the shaft. what a joke since most horses here compete for the highest purses on dirt and are left with the decision of going to SA two years in a row. the connections might as well be pulling the handle on a slot machine if they enter. now the sport is even more watered down and the results in the BC are about meaningless.
