Can't you see that being one of the best horses never to have won horse of the year does her more service than being handed an award she doesn't deserve ?

Should go to Blame. They should of previously exposed her to a large field putting dirt in her face.

100000% agree with the second sentence. Does anyone beleive she does not win the Personal Ensign in a laugher?

You are stupid. She did not win the Personal Ensign therefore does not credit because she might have.

Cannon, What did you think of Zenyatta's race yesterday? Were you impressed? Did you think she would have won if she didn't have to tap on the brakes turning for home?

I thought she ran great. I didn't see anything wrong with her trip especially after watching the over head view. If I was going to criticize the rider for anything it would be for not warming her up more before the race. After standing around digging holes instead of warming up it isnt really surprising that she was slow into stride.

Dig this

She never warms up conventionally before a race.

Whatever your opinion of this is, it is standard procedure for them to not have a gallop to the post like most.

She never has done differently..

blame didn't avoid anyone in the woodward. he'd already defeated the horse everyone thought was the top 'capper this year.

as for zenyatta, i can't blame her trainer for his opinion. however, her owners cost her a shot at the award with their cowardly campaign. any other horse running her season this year would get laughed at if they dared suggest it was hoy worthy. but it's zenyatta, so people get all freaking emotional instead of using the logic they'd apply to any other horse.

the award isn't for most photogenic, or best quirky habits. it's for HOY, and blame is the one who took on top horses much of the year, unlike the mare who didn't face a gr 1 winner all year until yesterday.
