My how a year changes someone's opinion, especially when that year includes a 4-5 campaign and a victory over the greatest horse evar.

Hes better then the Macho Again, Einstein and Bullsbay and they are the 3 best older dirt horses we had this year. With Summer Bird being injured and Quality Road having issues, Blame is right at the top of the handicap division next year.

In America I guess 10f on dirt is the classic distance/surface pairing.

They can't all be great at that though. I mean sure Zenyatta won a lot of 10f dirt races but.....oh wait.....no.....she never even won a single race like that.



Please note:
My ability to like Zenyatta lasted almost 48 hours....before Smoothy turned me into a hater again. His ability to get people to dislike a horse is really quite amazing.

It's just eating away at you that Goldikova's campaigns/legacy are everything Zenyatta's should've been.

Have long felt that classic distance runners are superior to sprinters or milers

Apparently the people in charge of purse money for the BC agree...

I'm with miraja. I was a fan for about 48 hours. Unfortunately, Smoothie King and Fats combined to form the worst tag team since the early 90's Quebecers and reminded me why I had so much disdain for the horse in the first place.
