Who are you argung with? I didn't hear anyone say that she is better than Secretariat or Spectacular Bid.

The Pepper's Pride argument is a joke. How can you compare a mare that's won 16 graded stakes races in a row including the BC Classic to a mare that was runing against New Mexico breds? It's absurd.

The Shirreffs 3 calls a day to TVG lately about whether he will run or not is grotesque. I hope he never wins another race.

Why would you blame him? You should blame TVG. They are the ones that keep hounding him every day. It's not his fault.

Dumb argument. And Moss' classless actions at the HOY ceremony last year speak volumes.

Interesting that he would rather run her on a surface he absolutely hates over shipping out of Cali.

You must have missed that press snippet where he wanted to make sure all of her fans in California get to see her one last time, again.

So why point the horse to a race at a surface they don't like? That's stupid. Are they really that afraid of shipping/losing?

I don't think they're afraid of losing. She's not a great shipper and they don't want to knock her out. If they were afraid of losing, would they have run in the BC Classic last year instead of the Distaff? If they were afraid of losing would they have agreed to ship to Oaklawn to face Rachel?

I guess she lost a **** load of weight and her training tailed off after Oaklawn this past time, but I guess so because they ran.

Whats the most interesting thing about her PP's, other than being unbeaten, is that the pace calls of her races. I would imagine without looking 15 of the 18 have had below par pace calls, to be a closer into that dynamic is pretty amazing.

The poly crap junk just makes winning that much more of a crap shoot, what did drugs say the routing favorites have done on it?
