If IF'S and WHAT'S were candy and nuts, If wishes were horses, beggars would ride; if turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side; and if IF's and AND's were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers hands.

Grandma used to say.

There's probably a better chance of Smooth Operator riding Zenyatta in the Classic then him actually betting that card. But yeah, she'll be a lot shorter than 3-1.

I guess expert oddsmaker can be added to the list.

Coach Pants 08-18-2010 12:39 PM

I'd say it's far more likely that Zenyatta would put on a strap-on and ride Smooth Operator.

You know.

It's conceivable that Smooth Operator is Mike Smith!

Those preparing on the superior (synthetic) surfaces are clearly poised to give good accounts of themselves, in my estimation...

i hope i want revenge makes it also for the BC.

too bad the pamplemouse hasn't recovered yet.

Pants is too predictable anymore.

Much more entertaining watching fats take dahoss behind the woodshed, imo

He could mean fried squid. "Cali mare"...personally I would use spell check, but sure, sound it right out. I'd rather you give deep fried Mars bars a shot at history. They're delicious.

ManilaRose 08-21-2010 11:53 AM

Zenyatta 3-1 in the Classic? Wow. Rinterval could pay $10 if that's the case.

Here she is galloping 8/22. Her head's going all over the place, but sometimes she manages to settle for a few seconds. I hope she gets to work Monday.

She wanted to run so badly that the jock had to grab the reins up around her ears just to hold her back.

Arletta 08-23-2010 09:15 AM

Wow what a handful! Not an easy horse to ride it looks like. I wonder if they have ever considered using draw reins on her to get her to settle.
She did'nt appear too happy that's for sure..

Indian Charlie 08-23-2010 09:24 AM

I wonder if they ever considered letting her run.

Nah.

Slight correction. That work was on Saturday the 21st. I know because I was there. Sunday morning the track was rain soaked - not that Rachel wouldn't have relished it.

Predictibility can mirror reliability.

Which is good.



Fatso couldn't take Donnie Osmond behind the woodshed.

Oops, yeah this is what happens when I go with what the person who sent it to me told me instead of the description in the darn video. Not that they said Sunday, they got the date wrong.

Looks like she and Life at Ten are scaring them off. So there are 4 probables, 2 possibles? http://www.drf.com/news/rachel-alexa...ersonal-ensign

Try to be as straightforward as possible on here … but gotta admit … this post is complete bullsh*t.

Can't possibly root for this filly

Just not in my DNA…

That's OK. There's no more room on the bandwagon anyway.;)

Smooth Operator 08-24-2010 11:57 AM

Don't know about that, Princess

RA fans have been awfully quiet so far this year

Think a lot of the weasels bailed after RA got ambushed by that synthetic-to-dirt goin' little z back in March...

Whatever you say Mr. Smooth. But, In my unapologetic opinion, true Rachel fans will remain her fans through thick and thin, and there still is no room on the bandwagon.

She only needs one more race (and a couple nice long drills after that) before the BCC

That formula worked out okay last year, eh, Sparky?


As myself and others have said on here before … there is no reason to stick her in a 10f contest now.

The Pac Classic is too far out from the BC to serve as her final prep, in my estimation.

If Shirreffs put her in there … then ran her back in the Lady's Secret … he'd run the risk of emptying the tank too much before the big one.

Not to mention the fact that another win at Del Mar would do little to silence the nitwits who claim she's just a synthetic specialist.

But an unprecedented (first 6yo and first horse to win on different surfaces) win in the BCC will make them look like monkeys peeing into the wind when they try to diminish her greatness.


So you see … it's ALL about getting her to the BCC in the best possible condition at this point.

Never take your eye off the ball

John clearly understands that...

After seeing his stock mkt prediction the connections of Zenyatta might want to retire her now.....before she runs last in The Zenyatta Stakes.

Wow, you definitely showed up Coach with that one. That comes close to the time you called Indian Charlie "Loser1." Your contemporaries at the playground will be proud and may, if their weekly allowances permit it, chip in and buy a double scoop of ice cream for you.

Indian Charlie 08-26-2010 01:15 PM

His comebacks, much like Zenyattas, are legendary.
