Really? Weren't you a strong detractor of RT just last year? How does she 'enhance' her reputation by losing to a 'distance challenged' horse? Of course, he now has a real jock.

What do you envision: a MILE match race?

What does this have to do with the topic?

Yes, I was wrong about Rail Trip. Happy? I doubt it....as you are as miserable as they come.

Now, that we have gotten past that, try to actually make one post that is related to the actual discussion. Surely you can do this once.

I knew the courting period (the 2 Narcissists were enjoying last week) would not last. It was almost as disgusting as when Muhammed got excited watching little Aisha on her swing set.

I don't expect to see Z race outside of SoCal a third time. Shirreffs has already expressed his fear of shipping Z over the Rockies, and we know she will likely be scratched again if she faces an off track. Shirreffs isn't going to waste flying her over the Rockies again just to find an off track at one of those real dirt courses. He is going to need an ironclad guarantee of dry weather before he puts her on a plane again, and we all know there are no ironclad forecasts, especially in the weather business.

So this will be her schedule for the rest of the year: Vanity, parade at Hollywood, Clement Hirsch, parade at Del Mar, Zenyatta Hcp, parade at Oak Tree, retirement announcement the week of the BC, post-retirement parade at Hollywood.

Have started thinking about what to say if she wins her 17th. Any suggestions?

Thanks......I couldn't remember that horses name. Is Pepper's Pride a male? If so he should breed with Zenyatta. Could you imagine the number of big races their offspring could duck ?

"Zenyatta romps again by a measured 1/2 length...do the names of the others matter?"

And here is one Smooth Operator!

Or, F. U. Stone Gossard!

Or, does anyone here have amphetamines to help wake me up?

Or, she has the speed of Ruffian, the class of Personal Ensign and the will to win of Peppers Pride?

Well to be accurate, she will pass Cigar and Citation, she has a ways to go before catching PP for all time win streak.

However the way the year is shaping up, if she gets that far wouldn't it be exciting if she were to break that dubious record at CD this fall in the classic ending her career 20 for 20?

We get along fine. Plus, disdain for you is a great and easy uniter.

Yes, I see you're getting along great ("miserable as they come" etc.)

Unlike you, he has a reasonable amount of self-awareness.
