Why isn't the Pacific Classic next on Zenyatta's schedule?
 

It is three weeks away, at Del Mar so Shirreffs won't have to be away from her, doesn't involve crossing the dreaded Rockies, and is at a distance that is supposed to be Zenyatta's best distance.

Give it up guy, she barely beat Rinterval at almost level weight.

Some horrendous Eastern slow-poke will win the Pacific Classic for the 4th straight year.

because they don't like the del mar surface silly! :D

i wish they would go there instead. the top 'cap horse out there now is awesome gem, surely he's not a scary competitor?

The problem with you is that you have yet to be mesmerized by her paddock prance.

I suppose that she doesn't have to actually beat them since she has already beaten the world's best horses in last year's BC Classic. It is a given that she would win the Pacific Classic by a measured length, so why bother. The racing world demands that she race next in the Zenyatta Stakes.

who cares? the race is usually a joke anyway. bets i've made at del mar this year......zero

oh, you're just a great big hater. how dare you detract from her and her legend by suggesting she take on males?! the obvious next step is the zenyatta. i mean, it's so cool, she's running in the stakes named for her. even secretariat and man o'war didn't manage that feat.

Z doesn't need a 10f race now

Hirsch was her 5th race on the season

Only needs one more start a few weeks before the Cup

Yeah, it stinks, but that's the way the game is played now.

Relatively fresh horses seem to perform better on Championship weekend.

Not to mention the fact that it's getting late in her 6-YEAR-OLD season.

relatively freshy? how could she be anything other than relatively fresh? she just made her 18th lifetime start. at six. lol do you listen to yourself at all regarding this subject?
wait, you're that woman who wore all the zenyatta apparely to the track the other day, aren't you?

:tro: guy was thrilled about the payoff on his $2 bet no doubt.

18 starts at 6 does suck, but she did not start until late in her 3yr old seasson. So that stat is a bit off.

i am well aware that she didn't race at two. in almost four years of racing, she's now got 18 starts. and he's worried about her staying fresh? sounds more like laying the groundwork should she lose, the continued mentioning of her being six. SIX, holy crap she has one foot in the grave. :rolleyes:

That was the first thing that went through my mind. A little tap dancing and excuse making in case the queen doesn't win or even start championship weekend :rolleyes: for that matter.

Nice tank top in that video and the Hirsch was her 4th start of the year.

Championship weekend?

:rolleyes:

Zenyatta fans don't like numbers.

My bad

Posting on the fly again



Fats has been getting the best of you lately, btw

Really








18 :cool:

The Final 14

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 Zenyatta had a d ick, would you suck it????

^^^^ I lol'd. So very drole.

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

In reality, she's been racing for less than 3 years. Her first start was in November of 2007.

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.

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.

:tro:

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"

Only if horseofcourse invented the opti-grab.

He's a witness. LOL

Good one, DaTroll

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.

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.
