Zenyatta v. Rail Trip??

[miraja2]

I am pretty far from being a big Zenyatta fan, but comparing her to that stupid, worthless, piece-of-crap, New Mexico horse - even in jest - is just going way too far.
Zenyatta's connections did make two different attempts to run their horse against the best out there: the BCC and the Apple Blossom. In one instance she ran against the worst BCC field ever on her preferred surface, and in the other one nobody ended up showing up to run against her. Those are hardly the connections' fault.

I actually still like Zenyatta....despite her ardent fans' inadvertent attempts to force me to root for her to lose (just so they will shut the hell up).

Fixed that for you.

Actually. They waffled on the BCC until they knew for sure it was going to be a very weak spot.

They also knew that RA was behind in her training and that there was a realistic chance she couldn't make it to the Apple Blossom

They've been very shrewd.

LOL @ this "worst BCC field ever" drivel

Euros dominated the race in '08 … and they sent over a couple more good ones for the '09 edition on the very same surface …. and Z schooled them in the lane.

Your time would be better spent talking about the 'worst Woodward and Haskell fields ever'.

Your time would be better spent learning how to breathe with your mouth closed.

why is one a suitable topic, and not the other? the horses who rachel beat were no good according to you, yet zenyatta also faced some of the same horses in cali at years end-yet the bcc talk if being worst ever is drivel... neither horse has beaten much at this point. the points against one are just as valid against the other. the points for each as well.


at this point, i wish both would retire so i could quit seeing endless threads with the same tired arguments.

They also knew that they couldn't beat Zenyatta and that was when they decided to invent a consumable excuse why she couldn't make it to the Apple Blossom
