Hovdey was on the Moss payroll, right? Can we just confirm this?

Factual errors in the recap of Capt. Candyman Can's win, a grammatical error in the headline for the Donn and now a moron talking about a stallion being brought to a mare. The DRF is spectacular.

Wonderful stuff thx Mr Krone.

I hope Zenyatta likes Bernardini maybe they should have a date night to make sure the Queen loves him.

Actually I would pay to watch Zenyatta in the Paddock with four or five healthy studs as they do what horses do. The horror on peoples faces when they see their queen mounted by stud after stud not giving a flyin fvck about who she beat her fans signs or her legacy.

Isnt that what we always hope for when horses retire that have thrilled us. The opportunity to live their live doing what horses do?

Seems to me the following part of the article was overlooked by some:

"Enough goofing around. There will be better and more practical ways in which horse racing can continue to benefit from the good will created by Secretariat, and more recently Zenyatta"

i thought the article was mostly tongue in cheek...but i am also tired of the media frenzy as a whole.
i think her first offspring should be called 'hyperbole'.

If you're in the horse media game it is wise to kiss up to Zenyatta. The mainstream needs a champion. Real or not.

So you would pay to watch a Horsie gang bang?
Are you from Alabama?

Tough season for Volunteer athletics.

oh there was nothing tongue in cheek about this article.... check out the author and his previous covering of Zenyatta.


One thing is sure though... I'm not going to waste my time ever reading an article by this author again. Zero credibility.

nothing?

What a procession it would be, Bernardini’s pathway strewn with flowers, schoolchildren set free for the day to wish him well, the Lexington Philharmonic deployed on one of the vast Lane’s End lawns playing a medley of Sting’s greatest hits as the lucky boy steps from his Darley van.

The tentative date for the Kentucky primary is May 22, which figures to be way too late for Zenyatta to bring her first foal into this world, especially if he/she is going to win the 2015 Triple Crown. Still, there will be plenty of opportunities for Presidential candidates to make a pilgrimage to Kentucky just to rub her beautifully bulging belly, for good luck.



the fact that he says 'enough goofing around' tells me he was just trying to have a bit of fun. some of his other stuff may be ridiculous, but i took much of this article to be a joke.

When these writers allow themselves to become part of the story, aka being in the winners circle as many do with their stories, it takes away all their credibility....They just don't get it.
