Like I said how can we possibly hope to compare to someone who doesnt even need to watch the race to tell what happened.

I hate making assumptions about people that I don't know but I would have to guess that like most boorish people who brag about things like "race watching ability", you not only wouldn't know which end of a horse eats, but that you are probably scared of them as well.

Wanna bet this no race watching, serial gelding trainer finishes ahead of you in the Dee Tee Saratoga handicapping contest?

And if you were in last years contest that would be, again...

Who cares? There's no money involved there and I'm struggling with time issues playing 5 other tracks. The contest is not exactly high on my list of priorities.

If you're up at SAR, head over to Ward's barn and see if he has any non-gelded males.

Oh my … after all the superlatives being thrown around the board about this mare … with some even using her in a pathetic attempt to diss the great unbeaten Cali mare … she gets whacked by open lengths by a 3yo.

Nice...

Ya know.. I really love Zenyatta too, but if she ever gets beat, the only reason I will be happy is to shut you up.

From espnuk

"Goldikova, who went off as the 6-5 favorite with her two pacesetting stablemates, Only Green and Saying, has always had the seven-furlong Prix de la Foret on Oct. 3 set as her final trial for a third consecutive Breeders' Cup Mile title. Clearly, however, she will want to avoid soft ground in the future as that sort of going takes the sting out of her vaunted acceleration."

They set her up nice, as she did all the drafting she'd want until she was ready to run in the stretch. Then she got RUN DOWN by a last mover. Now, that's irony.

Guess Princess not only needs to be escorted by windbreakers but she also needs to last move the field. Yeah, I realize she didn't like the going
and has run some nice races.

At least she didn't scratch because of a little rain.

If I posted a story about Loose Screw, a maiden winner today at Louisiana Downs, how can long would it take to twist it into a Zenyatta thread?

How long would it be until Smooth Operator posted? That would answer your question.
