If you watched the Californian and thought afterwards that Zenyatta is ready to take on Rail Trip in the HOL Gold Cup then you need to get a prescription for new goggles. Hell, her own trainer isn't even willing to take him on and I don't blame them, he's back in form and loves that track.

Well, in all fairness, the trainer of Rail Trip didn't exactly sound jazzed up to take on Zenyatta post-race yesterday either.

He was probably trying to avoid an argument with the gleeful Zenyatta backers.

I don't want to rain on the Zenyatta fan parade because I know she's a terrific horse who has done some very nice things. But, the hyperbole going around about yesterday's win is just idiotic. It was not a particularly strong race and ultimately presented one of the best setups she's ever had (with the BC Classic right up there as well). It should make anyone who thinks she is a legitimate contender to beat males in a race like the BC Classic understand that she's not there yet. At all.

Don't dare me to do anything. I have no reputation and a fan base that consists of RockHardTen1985 and sometimes GBBob if I'm nice to him.

She's has won this. You folks are so biased against her that you've stricken this from your brains. She's shown zero signs of not liking the dirt. Her trainer uses the dirt track at HWD PARK. This trainer prefers to run on dirt. The only way she'd not be a legit contender in this year's BC Classic is if it was being run on the Poly at Del Mar. I can see her getting beat at 9f or shorter, but at 10f, you're nuts to say she isn't a legit contender. Her and Blame are 10f horses.

I've seen your comments about St. Trinians and they are no surprise, funny that only works one way when your horse is discussed. When it comes to anything to do with Zenyatta barring her beating Quality Road while carrying 129 and running a 115-ish beyer, you guys just may concede she is not just the luckiest horse on earth.

BTW How much weight did the Rail Trip carry in the Californian..let me help you 118, how much weight did Zenyatta carry in the Vanity 129, I'll do the math for you guys also, that is 11lbs + more, do you want to add on a sex for age allowance also? I think she did just fine.

There's no point in me discussing anything about this with you. You'll grasp at straws, like weight, when all else fails. However, don't insult other people's handicapping methods, especially when they're dealing with fundamentals of handicapping like final times. Unless you feel obligated to thump your chest some more about the 2 winners you posted last year.

Ditto Nick. When it comes to Zenyatta your bias really shows. That's fine, I as a fan of racing enjoyed yesterday's race immensely, it's too bad others can't.

I really enjoyed yesterdays race. It was exciting for sure. I think everyone probably thought it was a good one. I haven't seen a remark by anyone that suggested it wasn't a good one. Just because one doesn't think zenyatta is man o war citation and secretariat rolled into one doesn't mean they dislike the horse or think she's no good.

He was likely best that day, and was one of the most talented horses we have had in a long time. I love Z, Im thinking I like her as much as you, but Bernardini would have DESTROYED HER.

That's the theme here, when trying to discuss who Zenyatta can beat...Blame, Quality Road, Bernadini, Personal Ensign and even Secretariat are all mentioned. When the talk turns to Rachel names like Bullsbay, Zardana, Unrivaled Belle and let's not forget Distinctive Dixie come up. I would say that is just about hitting the nail square on. I love it!

can we set up a charity event like the one they had on Kardashians (yes.. i watched that show yesterday)

Charity Boxing Event.. all proceeds go to a tb retirement group.

Zenyattatards vs Rachelites.

It would be great for the industry.
