8/28 (DMR) Pacific Classic S. (G1)

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Wow ... the morning line favorite is 0-for-5 lifetime on synthetics ... four of the five defeats coming in maiden races ... and the other a last place finish in a 9 horse field in a Sunshine Millions race.

When you're last two efforts on synthetic are a 5th beaten 11 lengths in a MSW race - and a 9th place finish behind Bold Chieftan and Palladio .. you shouldn't be favored to win the Pacific Classic.

Looks like one of the greatest Pacific Classics evar!

The sissies were right to sit this one out and run in the Secret.

You rachel lovers are all Z haters.

She can do something never done before, namely, win a race named after herself.

How can you not understand the glory in this? This will surely stamp her as an all time great.

It's sad that you Z haters just can't appreciate her for what she is.

Actually, I think Petty Officer (GB, 1967) won the race that was renamed for him after he won it a few times.

There are bad Grade 1 fields, and then there is this.

Hey Guano,

Do you ever have an opinion about a race before the fact, look at the title of the thread. What does this have to do with the Pacific Classic discussion?

If anyone was wondering....
I will be picking the Classic 2,4,7 in some order, with the 4 likely being 3rd.

Guano? I'm curious as to how you came up with a term meaning bat excrement as a nickname for me.

To answer your question however, which to most people is entirely obvious, is that your Beloved is dodging this scary race, which was mentioned previously in this thread. I was giving you justification for skipping this race and pointing to the Zenyatta stakes.

Please tell me you really aren't that dumb though and were just teasing me.

Didn't see your horse, RA, in the Apple Blossom or the Whitney. What's her excuse?

Im a Zenyatta fan NOT AN RA fan, notice I said the connections NOT the horse. I love Zenyatta but we are getting ripped off by her connections. RA isnt there cause she obviously isnt good enough or ready to run the race.
Contrary to popular belief Zenyatta has everything to prove in beating RA on a real dirt track

Wasn't ready for the AB, obviously. As far as the Whitney, way over her head at the time, also way more difficult race than anything Z or Rachel has faced yet.
