Math, how many do you think she spotted them off mild pace. Honestly. She was 2-1 to blame the last 200 yards. Horses aren't supposed to come to you after the kind of trip she recieved. If anything that really debunks the figure guys who said shes too slow. She simply goes after whatever is in front of her. There is no horse running that makes a race of that after that opening quarter.

But what makes you think that she would have has enough to make her run if she was closer to the pace? Doesn't that come into play?

It may have taken a little punch outta her run being closer, but she wouldn't have needed that same punch had she been closer. She was never on even terms with Blame. Even after the wire she pulled up so quickly she had given everything she had. Gomez rode a flawless race, and Blame needed a flawless race to beat that champion. Mike Smith, he made a few mistakes and that cost her the race, HOY

Mild pace? Are you serious? The race completely collapsed in front of her. She ran well, but she ran the race she always runs. Like I said in the other thread, if they weren't busy talking about her f'ing dance moves all year, maybe they could've put some more speed into her for a race like this.

DrugS called this the other day. He said she'd have to run way faster early than she ever had before to stay close and that that would probably have taken the starch out of her. They went the other way with her. She's a one run closer, she made that one run and she came up short. She still ran very well, but enough with the excuses.

She was the best horse in the race?

Are you chairman of the Buffalo Bills fan club?

I thought Blame was the better horse and, it sickens me to say this, had a much tougher campaign.

The results yesterday are accurate. Mrs. and Mrs. Moss got what they deserved. Now they can "What If" the rest of their lives. Maybe if they have the good fortune of getting another great horse in the barn they won't be such chicken s.hits and take some more chances with it.

They campainged her like a Champion. No owners would bring a mare like that back and risk that unblemished record. Blame is a very very good horse. Id love to see him come back and be a superstar but they have already put him up. How can you knock owners who keep one around like Zenyatta. Regardless of who she faced this year, she was coming off a Breeders Cup win. Whether you like her or not, it was nice for racing, and nice to see her get to this point undefeated. I think they managed her career flawlessly. It all added to the drama, and pagentry of this glorious game.
