It's nice that she's still running and her stretch runs are exciting in themselves, but I'm sorry, her campaign is boring and it doesn't nearly live up to the hyperbole we're smothered with by her connections and fans.

No, no, you are the correct one, Ateam. We should all continue to rant on about the cowardice of the Mosses when any typical owners would have just retired their Breeders Cup Classic champ. What in the world are the Mosses thinking? Bringing back a champ as a 6-yr-old and running her just twice in the East. Pointing their mare to the Breeder's Cup Classic, as if that's a tough race or anything! It's ridiculous, you're right. We should all be getting excited about next year's Kentucky Derby, or something, instead.

Look, would I rather see her facing males before the BC Classic? Sure. But in an age when pretty much every Grade I winner is a candidate for "He/She's done enough" and whisked off to the breeding shed, I'm EXTREMELY glad that they brought Zenyatta back to race again.

I say, once again, that you guys are absolutely insane if you think Zenyatta is crossing the Mississippi again this year. Insane.

They brought her back for selfish reasons, not for the fans. If they actually cared about the sport then they would run her against the best older males in the East on dirt. They don't want that.

They want Best in Show awards. If all they care about is awards then Moss should leave the game and invest in Broadway plays. Lord knows he would fit right in with those sissies.

We'll see if they cross the Rockies for the BC

Best Pal would have beaten Zenyatta as well.

Steve Zenyattawitz is hopeless!

Hah.

When BP was past his prime, maybe.

Not at the top of his game.

When was he in his prime? Like 2 weeks a year?

You can't compare bringing back a mare to race to a colt being sent to the shed, it's just not realistic whatsoever. Was it good for the game for them to bring her back? Of course, but can't we get her to try at least an interesting race here and there prior to the BC? Hol Gold Cup? Pacific Classic? For God sake, maybe even the Goodwood?

Folks who think she was unretired for anything other than a 2010 victory parade and some sort of potential lifetime achievement Eclipse award are delusional.
