Whatever you think about Gio Ponti is fine. The horse ran a winning race. Are you going to now say he didn't like the surface? Pick your semantic.
And there is no faux impartiality here (thanks for the psycho-analysis). I'm a racing fan. I love watching good horses run. I think Rachel Alexandra is outstanding.

I just think Zenyatta's better.

Wake me up when they finally decide Zenyatta's proven all she can prove in California. I have a feeling I'll be asleep for a while.

Good one. haven't heard that in one of these threads for a while. If this keeps up you may be able to insert the "the only horse Zenyatta beat was Ginger Punch and boy was she slow and overrated" line.
