Clearly the greatest weekend of the season in North America

Winning a BC race is a big deal.

Taking down one for three straight years … simply amaZZZing

If Z had a cock she would've been retired a couple years ago … undefeated, of course, kgirl311.

if she raced in 07, 08, 09, and now it's 2010, how many years is that? in november of this year, it'll be four years she's raced. at three, four, five and now at six.

ON my calendar November 2007 to August 2010 is 2 years and 9 months. She's been racing for 2 years and 9 months. When her career ends in November of 2010 she will have raced exactly 3 years. The technicalities of you horse racing people. November 2007 to November 2010 does not 4 years make. It's like stating the period of time between December 31st 2010 and January 1st 2011 will be 2 years because, December 31st took place in 2010 and January 1st took place in 2011, that's '10 and '11, therefore it's two years.

ok, from now on i'll say in four seasons of racing. of all the things to argue about, this is what you come up with?

now i remember why for a while i stayed out of the zenyatta threads. i need to go back to that mode.

Because I'm not nearly smart enough to argue about horse racing on this board. I can argue however how 3 years becomes 4 years. What I think about Zenyatta has no merit whatsoever.

Smooth Operator 08-09-2010 09:21 PM

Fine work, horseofcourse

Now, if you can just get Danzig to stay away from the crack pipe for a little while longer.

For some bizarre reason he/she seems to think that Z isn't being pointed to the BCC.

The chain really classes up Smooth Operator's tank top.

This is, quite possibly, the silliest argument in semantics I've ever seen.

Reminds me of the scene in The Jerk..."We've known each other for 4 weeks and 2 days, but it seems like 9 weeks and 5 days. The first day seemed like a week. And the second day was like another week. The third day when you went to see you mother was just a day, but later when you came back and over into the 4th day, well that seemed like a total of 5 days"

slotdirt 08-10-2010 08:47 AM

Only if horseofcourse invented the opti-grab.

Coach Pants 08-10-2010 08:52 AM

He's a witness. LOL

A classic "dodge"
 
First,the rockies excuse,and I'm sure there were more,and now this one:
“If we go to New York, that will mean she’ll be away from the barn for over a month,” Shirreffs said. “I don’t know if we want to do that.”:zz:

Is it correct or not? Does the time period from November of 2007 to November of 2010 constitute 3 years or 4 years? Silly or not is not the question or argument. The statement was Zenyatta has raced almost 4 years. I came back with she hasn't even raced 3 years. It's horse racing threads, I've seen lots of silliness. I thought I'd toss my hat in.

slotdirt 08-10-2010 11:12 AM

Why does it matter? The horse has made 18 starts through six. Who cares if she's raced 1231 days or 1084 days? The answer would be nobody. Oh, well except the semantics police.
