Yep. A nice, slick, overdubbed, processed production lacking any sort of imagination, innovation, or heart.
Not to mention a whole bunch of payola to get airplay at the end of the year. Didn't win them the Grammy, though.

I'm not sure how the "Rachel Alexandra was and is not ready" argument holds any water against the open planning and prep the Zenyatta team has done.

What does one horse have to do with the other in terms of form and fitness?
This isn't some Us And Them battle. It's about two of the top horses in the same division actually butting heads for a change.
Frankly, it's pretty pathetic that both sides think that they're really going all out by agreeing to run in the same race together. They should be ashamed of themselves that they've stirred up all this BS, controversy, and straw-man theatrics that's taken most of the spotlight off the actual horses and put it onto their own withered, decayed, senile heads instead.
I laugh when people say this is "good for racing". If these decrepit old misers took 30 minutes to go on Youtube and punched in "Alysheba Bet Twice", "Alysheba Ferdinand", "Sunday Silence Easy Goer", or "Skip Away Formal Gold" or even "Silver Charm Free House" they'd see how much overwrought fanfare they've brought on for a mere baby step in the realm of sportsmanship.
A curse on both their stables.
