She apparently did not ship great when she went to Oaklawn this year. The trip knocked her out and she lost weight. Knowing that, why would they want to ship her again this year before they ship her to Kentucky in November for the BC Classic? Why would they want to knock her out before the big race?

All horses are different. Some horses handle shipping really well and others don't. Going into this year, I think they were planning on shipping quite a bit this year. But since she didn't handle it particulary well, they're not going to do it again before the BC Classic. I guess there is a small chance that they will ship her for her final prep but I would say the odds are against it.

Was this race shown live on the major networks or ESPN?

No?

I wonder why. Maybe it's because true sports fans don't fall for exhibitions for filthy rich cowards to show off their "SUPER HORSE." They'd rather watch poker or bowling. At least in those sports you don't see the stars ducking each other on a regular basis.

It was fitting SHEriffs was wearing pink today.

Now continue fawning over this horse who barely beat nothing.

What is this based on? Something that those lying dirtbag connections said?

Are you really that naive to believe any excuse they throw out there?

Whats next? Do you really believe that flying over the Rockies was a legitimate excuse to not ship east earlier this year?

Or that going 10f against males in the Hollywood Gold Cup last year was too daunting a thing to do with a female horse, despite that moronic trainer running a female in that race anyways?

This is based on the fact that people I know that see her train all the time said she looked like she had lost some weight after the Oaklawn race.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what you have against the Mosses. What are all these things you claim they have lied about?

Ok, you have always seemed like an honest stand up guy who knows what he's talking about, so I will concede the weight loss thing to you as you are in a much better position to know than I am.

But cmon, you are pulling my leg on the Mosses, right???

I constantly hear s-h-i-t about a lot of owners. I constantly hear that this person is an a-hole and that person is a prick, etc. But I've never heard anything bad about the Mosses. They are extremely popular. Everyone likes them.

I did hear one kind of funny thing about Moss. I know a guy who grew up with Moss in New York. When they were both 19 years old, they were pretty much broke. They had no money and they were working for peanuts. Anyway, he told me that Moss does not like talking about those days at all. It's a real sore subject with him. He is worth several hundred million dollars now and I guess he doesn't like to be reminded about the days when he was broke.

Yeah, you know, I used to like the Moss stable horses until last year. Not that I don't like the horses, but I find it hard to route for them since all the bullshidding and misdirection on Zenyatta.

Delicate Vine was awesome. I was a fan of Ruhlman too, to name a couple.

Then all this nonsense about not running her in the Gold Cup last year was so completely retarded, they were obviously making up lies to justify their lack of fortitude.

How about the lies about her being retired? Clearly anyone with an ounce of common sense could tell she wasn't being worked out for the joy of working out. Did you really believe she was never to race again, until they came out and said she was now 'unretired'???

How about their promise to be more daring with her this year?

Or their classic "Rocky Mountain" excuse?

Or their hemming and hawing about how they really were not that likely to run in todays race?

There's alot more.
