A lot of these supposed new fans won't be impressed when a Volponi type horse jumps up and easily beats both of these overrated horses.

Something as simple as Ramon Dominguez's riding tactics on Haynesfield is all that prevented Musket Man from winning the Whitney yesterday. Which he certainly would have if Haynesfield did all the doggy work - instead of him being forced to come outside of Haynesfield and try to do it.

The classic hasn't been run yet and Blame won the Whitney. Can't change what happened nor predict what will. I won't try.

I think I'll wait and see who enters first.

I do Saturday races on Monday, but it seems a little high to me. In any case, it will be a projection by any figure maker as the only route...thanks NYRA.

Who cares who "won" the race?

That only matters if you own the horse, train the horse, rode the horse, or in that instance bet the horse.

If you attract new people to racing who "won't try" to predict what will happen ... what good would this possibly do? Other than create more people who think Pepper's Pride would beat Sharp Cat.

I did bet the horse so I guess it matters to me. Does that mean I'll bet him in the BC? As I said in an above post, I'll wait and see who enters first.
You look at a race and form your opinion and that's fine. I may look at it and form a different opinion. Betting is all about opinions.

(Isn't Sharp Cat deceased in which case I'll pick Pepper's Pride to win.)

First female to win BCC + First 6yo to win BCC + First horse to win BCC on two different surfaces + 3 overall BC wins + Perfect 20-0 record = Horse Racing Immortality

Simple as that

Completing the equation won't be easy … odds are very much against her … but if she can pull it off … her critics will be just pissing into the wind…

Zenyatta is a vastly overrated fraud who will be lucky to run 6th beaten 12 lengths in the BC Classic.

If she came to Saratoga - Rachel Alexandra would piss all over her - and beat her by a city block.

Sorry you had to find out this way.

Your wrong Doug, but keep dreaming **** face.

Danzig · #**233** 08-08-2010, 07:22 PM

well, new york is out of the question...so we'll just have to speculate on all that.

the_fat_man · #**234** 08-08-2010, 07:24 PM

No speculation as to which horse was a NO SHOW for their previous 'engagement'.

The rest is rhetoric.

You might have a point chubby ... the older males and 3yo divisions both look very soft.

Let me revise that and say she will run 6th beaten 10.5 lengths.

RA will be joining St. T in the infirmary if she ever runs into Z.

I'm pretty upset she and possibly RA won't both be running the in the BC Distaff .. so I could make a trifecta score when Zenyatta fails to hit the board in that race.

RA, Devil May Care, Blind Luck, Life At Ten, Unriveled Belle, Malibu Prayer - that's a field man!! Zenyatta would do no better than 4th unless she got an absolutely blistering pace.

Not to worry. You'll make your score betting Musket Man in the Classic.
