I don't get the goat reference man. Why do you keep saying that?

Lots of goats win three Breeders Cup races, so I really see how Smoothie came up with the nickname. Makes perfect sense.

She's the greatest, but I'm not in favor of giving it to a horse that ran once this year in the US.

I know facts and bets are your kryptonite, but Goldikova is a group 1 winner going 9 furlongs and was beaten 4 lengths by Zarkava going 1 5/16ths. She's better at a mile, but it's not as though she can't go a little farther.

Another fact...Zenyatta has won ONE 10 furlong race.

lol

Hey Da Hoss. Get it right.

Zenyatta was better in defeat than Blame was in victory. The race you use against her is like holding Slew's gold cup against him.

Ask Haskin. He'll tell you.

What are you talking about? I'm not holding any race against her. I thought she ran huge.

But she was not better in defeat than the winner. I don't care who says it.

Thanks for admitting you're holding it against her?

Again if that's the case you're showing her at her finest

another tidbit of irony that occurred to me....back when another horse was making her first start at 10f, and came in second, we heard all about how zenyatta would do at the same distance on the same surface.

lol both get a second their one time on dirt at 10f. you just can't make up stuff like that.
