I got so much to learn about this game.

That was last year. Let the aforementioned filly show up this year and we can discuss this again. I'm sure the Z camp will probably reevaluate, should this happen. If they're giving this year's award for last year's performance, then maybe they can also take away last year's award based on this year's performance. Seems only right to me.

I mean, let's face it, even if Z beats the high Beyer numbering RT, Mike the EUNUCH and his group would still want to see a high Beyer on dirt. So, the argument still remains for the cultists. Z gains NADA by beating RT (at least here, and PA, which is where it really counts ).

Note this year in my post.

Rachel Alexandra has faced tougher horses in 2010 than Zenyatta....and even you know that.

That wouldn't be the case if RA showed up, like she was supposed to. You run against the field that shows up. Do you also want to assume that little Z handles Z in the morning?

In fact, I'm still wondering why all the other fine fillies in the land don't head out to CALI and take down Z -- she's so SLOW, after all. Or why they didn't bother showing up at OP. It must've been because RA was going to be there. Last I checked, when you get taken out in an early round, the playoffs are kind of over for you until next year -- i.e. until you show up.

Let me take an additional moment to put SCUDS back on ignore. Clearly, he's not taking his meds and feels the need for unsolicited attention.

Attacking the messenger, and trying to distract. The Narcissist is now being represented by his many enablers.

Maybe... But those horses and their connections had a choice 1) take a shot at Rachel or 2) take a shot at Z.
