John Shirreffs was asked politely about her current performance level, the quality of her 2009 campaign and the positioning of her career accomplishments. He had the opportunity to be as forthcoming as he wanted to be about each of those aspects. It isn't necessary for me to challenge him or Moss in any more of a confrontational manner about their choices because I'm going to receive the same answers.
I think it's apparent that the undefeated portion of Zenyatta's career became a priority for all involved, and that may come to the detriment of her overall legacy long term. It's their choice as trainer/owner to place her as they see fit, and our choice as evaluators of racing history to judge the results. And in fact, Shirreffs acknowledged that.

So asking Sherriff's politely how at this stage in Zenyatta's career the Distaff could be in the mares best interest is challenging him? Well let's just say that isn't exactly a 60 minutes hard ball to the head Steve..
Now if for some reason you are protecting Sherriffs from his owners it might have been safer to leave him and his ball alone.. To show you why I feel so strongly that the show and your audience deserves more from Sherriff's I will detail how you asked a tough question just hours earlier to another guest.. I will need to paraphrase but.. You basically called Abrams and his ridiculous poly horse out onto the carpet when you suggested that the BC will have a bunch on Poly track freaks running in it instead of the mainstream dirt horses. You even suggested that there was damage being done the industry by horses such as HIS coming into town with SOFT credentials.. BTW this was an excellent question which intially floored Irwin. Irwin first suggests he has no clue what you are talking about and regatherings and suggests some BS about his horse being a special poly freak YADA YADA.. Hey you went there you put the thoughts of the industry in his face and he was CHALLENGED to respond. Ma' nish ta nah? BTW congrats on the excellent segment with Irwin you gave him polite hell and let him hang himself appropiately. He told you and the industry..Hey you put the BC on pro ride its my job to find horses that will run well on it..too friggin bad its my job... Last edited by Kasept : 10-13-2009 at 10:02 AM.
