This Ginger Punch argument is weak. Brownie Points was second. If anyone thinks Brownie Points was better than Ginger Punch overall they're kidding themselves.

They both sucked.

I guess you believe that a Ginger Punch that wasn't at her best wasn't any better than the horses Pepper's Pride was beating? I guess you are saying that going into the race, you knew Ginger Punch was going to run a bad one? The main point is that Zenyatta did leave California and to face the reigning champ at that. Pepper's Pride never did anything like that.

I think its funny, and symptomatic of this argument, that we are comparing Zenyatta to Peppers Pride.

Yup, no bias and hatred at play here.

Would you say Bayakoa's owners didn't deserve any credit for supplementing her and sending her to NY to face Go for Wand in the BC, even though Go for Wand was an odds-on favorite because GfW didn't finish the race? The intent of a move is important too sometimes.

Travis is saying that mentioning that Zenyatta going to Arkansas to beat Ginger Punch is a weak argument because obviously GP didn't run her race. I'm saying that you can't use the outcome of the race and hold that against Zenyatta. The fact is that going into the race, GP was the reigning champ and was coming off a a stakes win at Gulfstream so Moss has got to be given at least some credit for taking on that challenge and that challenge was a bigger one than Pepper's Pride ever took on.

Why don't you name the poll: The more respected connections, after all thats what the argument is about. Unless the horses make the decisions on where they race.

Ok I just didnt understand the comparison, I thought Go for Wand was at her best that day and Bayakoa just was the better horse. They battled hard and GFW paid the ultimate price for her huge heart.

The comparison was that the owners made the move in the first place and because GfW didn't finish the race, you can't hold that against Bayakoa's people sending her in the first place just like you can't hold it against Zenyatta's owners that Ginger Punch didn't run her race. Going out there in itself was taking on a challenge.

Bayakoa was not the better horse.

Bayakoa had her collered and was going by, that day she was better.
