Mike's excuse making. I understand he's upset and disappointed, but lay out some kudos to the victor cuz you got enough of them when Zenyatta won. All good things eventually come to an end, my friend.

I dont blame him, but you said yourself you were not sure she could be closer and still finish. He never really gave her the chance to be closer. For a split second I thought she was pulled up right at the start. I could not believe she was that far back.

He rode a nearly flawless race. I guess it's nice he decided to take the blame, but he deserves none of it. No excuses are necessary. She ran her race and she fell just short. That's what happens when you run against good fields.

Someone on another topic, and I can't find it, said Mike did nothing to warm up Zenyatta before the race. Too much PR and maybe not enough preparation? I think she should have done some of her works at CD instead of shipping her in a couple days before the race. There are no excuses. She was valiant in defeat, Mike rode a very good ride (in my opinion). She lost. It's as simple as that. Shouda, woulda, coulda, and ifs just don't cut it.

Apparently The Bidiot doesn't think that a final half mile time of 51.27 is indicative of a fast pace.
Nor does he seem to realize that Z was less than five back of Blame with about a half mile to go. Oh yeah, that's right, Z stumbled and almost went over the rail which cost her her usual runaway win.

Blame probably would have won by more if Gomez didn't have to put him in a hard drive late on the far turn to keep Lookin At Lucky from getting the jump on him. Gomez could have waited longer if the only horse he had to run down was Etched.

Are you under the notion that Blame has this extreme turn of foot? Watch his races and read the charts. He has a decent late burst but many of his races he is put into a long drive. Zenyatta DOES have a tremendous turn of foot. On equal or near equal terms with 3/16ths to go, its hard to imagine Blame outkicking Zenyatta especially after she loafed around for a quarter of the race. Lets be objective.
