Exactly. The streak is meaningless to me if she's just beating the same horses at the same tracks over and over. Hell, I'd prefer a horse like Perfect Drift to her. He lost a lot, but he danced every dance and consistently ran well and that means more to me than some stupid streak against soft competition.

I'd love to have both in my stable.

Chuck hit the nail on the head and certainly summed up the way I feel about Zenyatta and this recent announcement. As has been brought up numerous times here before, it isn't necessarily staying in CA that is the biggest problem with their plan, it's staying in CA and facing females.

Again with this? As Coach said, I'd love to own the Yankees too, it doesn't mean I have to be a fan no matter what they do.

As an aside, PD earned $4,714,212 with the immortal Murray Johnson as his trainer. That alone should qualify him for the HOF.

I was definitely being tongue in cheek... nothing makes me want to pull my hair out more as when people say, "Oh, that's a horse I wouldn't turn down for my stable."

In all seriousness, Perfect Drift was a lot of fun to watch. His Whitney stretch-drive with Roses In May was awesome.

Not if you bet on him.
