What jumped the shark first: bashing Zenyatta or Smooth Operator? It's a tough call.

They should keep it the Zenyatta Stakes or publicly execute the person who green-lighted the name change. Preferably in the winners circle.

Where will Rinterval run next? I know she's lost 21 out of her last 22 races ... but she's due!

She should run back in the Zenyat...Lady's Secret. Have another go at it, so close last time. :mad:

Great idea.

You know, just for the sake of entertainment.

Listen up.

None of us are bashing Zenyatta.

We are bashing her connections, and tards such as yourself who can't tell the difference.

alysheba4 09-02-2010 11:55 AM

tards....o.k.

slotdirt 09-02-2010 12:31 PM

More than three ".'s" in your ellipses would seem to prove Indian Charlie's conclusion.

It pains me that someone with such feeble powers of reasoning would invoke such a great and beloved horse for their username.

"Great"? He lost! He is not great. :zz:

slotdirt 09-02-2010 12:41 PM

The list of horses who were great is very, very small in that case. Kincsem, Personal Ensign, Colin, and Zenyatta. Oh, and Peppers Pride. The end.

He's from a time when connections weren't totally lame and it was an acceptable risk, losing.

Different times, different standards.

Now, only Peppers Pride, Zenyatta, that recently retired Lion Heart 2yo and Uncle Mo can be considered truly great.

Alysheba shipped around a lot, but we should keep in mind that the Rockies weren't as high back then.

nah...she lost too much, and thus is undeserving.

Indian Charlie 09-02-2010 11:47 PM

Candy Ride really was a great horse.

And then also make it a "Win and you're in Breeders Cup Race" for the Ladies Classic!! Ha!!

Big mare threw a bullet on that stamina-building HP cushion yesterday



Stars beginning to align nicely…
