Smooth Operator's itinerary for the next few weeks
 

What is she going to eat each day leading up to the announcement that they are passing on the Breeders Cup?

From The Wall at the above site:

They DO know that's cotton in her ears, right? Right? :zz:

That's what so many people don't get, as to why I harp on and on about idiots.

It must be stopped!!

Looks like that site is actually operated by Breeders Cup. When do you think they're going to come out with Haynesfield2010.com?

:eek:

In my heart of hearts, I agree.

I just don't think she'll be going...

I refuse to look at this site until the draw.

I hear people say that, and I'm not entirely clear why. I think they believe she's better on dirt than synthetic and are looking forward to proving it in a dirt BCC. I don't think traveling once is a problem, but I'd be nervous if she'd just come from the Beldame. It's just a feeling I get that she'd not handle it well, and maybe that's why they didn't take her around after all. Wasn't the first race post-Apple Blossom this year a squeaker? We get that she likes the distance. Why would they bail? I don't think they think she's gonna lose. Is there something that looks less than great about her that I've missed out on? I don't get how they get HOY if one of the other contenders wins it, and she doesn't bother to show.

i'm figuring that holly park and oak tree will come up with some special race to send her off in. that the mosses will say they're cali thru and thru, and they want zenyatta to end her career there. that she's won a bcc, she owes no one, and they want to treat her fans to seeing her one more time, blah blah blah. she'll win some bs race against more pseudo competition, win her 20th...

and then the mosses and her fans will bitch and moan when she doesn't win hoy for all her efforts this year.

that's my prediction.


i'd imagine they're hoping for an upset in the classic. if quality road and blame don't win, she's got a shot at hoy without showing. she shows, and loses? there goes hoy, and there goes the record for wins at the same time. they want that record more than anything.

That would be a heartbreaking annoncement on the website Zenyatta2010.com if they announce she's not running.

"We...uhh....are sorry to say that...there was no point to this website after all...."

The tards that comment over there wouldn't care. They'd just move on to talking about what an awesome mommy Zenyatta will be!!!

I can only answer this for myself my dear...

It's just a feeling.

Maybe it's the cynic in me... the pessimist.

It's easy for all of us to say well I can see them thinking this and that but hey we are here to discuss things, right?

I can see them being afraid. They changed their mind(s) about retirement... I can see them changing it about this too.

Fear that she will lose, that her luck will run out... it's funny cause i AM a fan of hers and yet i realize that saying these things can be taken in a sarcastic way.

I mean no disrespect or anything...

I can just see them not wanting to push it and any little thing being used as a reason for retirement.

You forgot something.

This seems "spot on."

Looking forward to hearing about the big mare's breeze later this morning


Some really bizarre posts here

Can't imagine anything other than injury, illness, or horrible track condition (like '07 when SA's 'roid-freak freaked in the soup) will keep her out of the gate.

Why would track condition matter? Because the horse could possibly lose, like every other horse whose trainers will keep them in regardless of conditions?

Also freaking in the "soup" were Midnight Lute, War Pass, and Indian Blessing. I wonder where Smoothie's accusations towards the trainers of those three horses are? Selective amnesia, perhaps?

More like lack of perspective and stupidity.
