The Zenyatta Protection League is fierce. They don't let anyone post anything that questions Zenyatta without bashing the poster's credibility.

C'mon the guy who tried to steal the table cloth was almost beaten. No worries ever.

Wow, I'm out of commission for a couple days and sounds like things went nuts. Gonna have to go back and listen to Wed's show. I hope everybody hugged it out in the end. I get the massive love for Zenyatta. Even if she couldn't run a lick, she's honestly a supermodel when it comes to good looks and that's some serious star quality just standing there, nevermind when she runs. God doesn't usually give with both hands, but she got the talent and the beauty. She's magic. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I don't want to get to the end of her career and find I didn't appreciate it while it was in action because I was too caught up in some silly rivalry. Gotta take it all in when great horses do their thing. Enjoy it while it's here.
One of the things I do love about ATR and DT is that even though we can all get defensive, things are always geared around making the sport better and improving things for the people and horses involved. We get passionate because there's something worth caring this much about. Not everybody has that in their lives. We're pretty lucky.

Steve,
This sport is so compelling because the followers of it tend to be of a higher capacity, and the odds are fueled by differences of opinion that we all get to continuously test. There is so much data and information available to try to form that opinion, and we get paid best when our correct opinion is contrarian. I know I am drawn to the puzzle of figuring out who will win. Having just listened to the Davidowitz interview on the replay, I'm surprised you could hold out as long as you did. I like Davidowitz and he's a brilliant race analyst, much like yourself Steve, but for the life of me I couldn't follow the raw emotion supporting his superlatives regarding Zenyatta. I would have blew up with a shorter fuse. As to your other point, there are a lot of classy people on this site, and I think most try to be respectful. Aside from the "Politics and Society" forum, where we all let it get a little raw and I think that is appropriate there, I would have been surprised if people started throwing bombs regarding the Davidowitz interview and the polarizing issue of Zenyatta's rank among prominent horses. One positive note: Since it was not available on satellite radio, it kept me from driving off the road while listening...  Joe
