Blame saved the historic integrity of the sport

[prudery]

Haynesfield had nothing to prove when he beat Blame who was undefeated this year by daylight in a slightly less important recent fall classic race either .

And didn't .

" Desparately " beating Rinterval is apropo of nothing if " desparate " is a matter of opinion .

Same logic applies to thrashing a horse that finished third by 10 when you finish second . And blatting on about it .

With that logic, thrashing Qr by 29 should mean something. Not to me .

Blame ran a good race with a nice trip .

The race was a thriller as no one can deny.

Without Zenyatta in it , it would not have been .

And no she didn't get a great trip .

And no she needs no excuses .

There was a huge sigh of relief from many when her head wasn't in front at the wire .

Hence the thread title in all its cleverness .

I don't recall adressing you.

And do YOU run it, or just run off at the mouth excessively ??

I don't care who you addressed. If you don't like the way it is moderated no one is forcing you to post your rubbish here.

I hadn't noticed that.

Perhaps the mods were getting asked by too many women for pictures of me?

I wasn't really naked, by the way.

What the heck was wrong with her trip? If I had $$ on her I would have been thrilled with that ride right up to the wire.

There was nothing wrong with it, she was farther back then usual and she was slightly steadied when she had to avoid QR when he threw in the towel, the pace was honest, everyone talks about a fast pace but what did anyone expect, the 3 plugs setting the pace to steal the race...the fact is Blame had a better trip, if she gets a perfect trip she wins, but obviously she was not good enough to overcome it, that's as objective as one can be whether you are impartial, a hater or a fan of her. I think we are unanimous she ran a great race.

First of all, her trip was as close to perfect as a horse like her is going to get. Secondly, she had every chance to run him down and couldn't do it. No ifs ands or buts this time.

I like the usage of like her, I think I said she wasn't good enough to overcome it so we agree. And I think you mentioned she ran a good/great race, so all is well with me and you.

Something tells me you wouldn't be trying to be so diplomatic and genial had she won the race. I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that she had something 'to overcome'. She couldn't have been beaten more fairly.

Churchill Downs is blame's home track and favored surface. That's part of the game though. The set up was certainly fair and the way the surface was prepared (it seemed that they went lengths to ensure the rail was dead) certainly made it as fair as it could possibly be.

However, if you are saying that she "couldnt have been beaten more fairly" a neutral track would have done the trick and perhaps a dirt prep for Z. Either way, the connections can only blame themselves.

Did I say she was beaten unfairly? She ran a great race and a perfect trip as the one Blame got yesterday probably wins it. I'll stress this point again, since you will probably point out this is sour grapes, she wasn't good enough to get away with anything less than a perfect trip yesterday with the trip Blame got, whereas in the past she had a larger margin for error. You don't have to be impartial, a hater or fan of hers to know this, like I said yesterday, running well and proving the critics wrong means more to me than her winning the race. Now if you want to dispute her running well, then we can hash it out, if not then we are fine .
