So my question to you is what absolves her from criticism of not running in one of those races and why is it alright to criticize another?
Dude, this is not about Rachel. This is about where Zenyatta is running this year. For all the people who thought she backhanded at the Eclipse Awards dinner, this year was supposed to vindicate her.

If you can't use Rachel, you use Quality Road, if you can't use Quality Road, you use shipping Quality Road, if you can't use shipping Quality Road, you use Chuck's two horses who didn't ship over the Rockies, if you can't use Chuck's two horses who didn't ship over the Rockies, you bring-up china dolls, if you can't use China Dolls, you use Summer Bird etc. It's nauseating.

Guess what? This is NOT ABOUT Quality Road, China Dolls, Summer Bird, The Rockies, the Alps, Mt. Everest or anything else. This is about where Zenyatta is running right now.

Unfortunately, she is NOT the leader for Horse of the Year, even though she probably should be. This was supposed to be her year where she struts her stuff.

Unfortunately for her, much like last year, another horse is out-working her up to this point (through not fault of her own).

If this is about getting her to peak at the BC, that's fine, but don't come crying when the voters say again, "Hey, this is Horse of the Year, not Horse of the Race."

Amen Brother, Iam a westcoast fan of Zenyatta, but they have a chance to bring her game to any race track in the country and they have not done it.

Blame Atsteamstupid, I didn't bring it up first. If you read my reply beginning with Cannonball, it was 100% on topic.

Nope, sorry. It was 10 pnt move up who first invoked Rachel, followed by you, then me. As always, it was a Zenyatta fan who brought up the other one. Inferiority complex much?

No.

I just find it amusing that grown men are calling each other names over horses.
