And she would have lost that same race by 15 lengths on that lone-f pace scenario. You can't possibly be as big an idiot as you pretend to be, not if you still know how to breathe.

the original post was for everyone to enjoy the prose put forth by Luck
It was not intended to become ANOTHER battlefield for pro con Zenyatta.

By the way the inbreeding pattern looks ok

Whose inbreeding, richard's?

Lovely prose is a fine thing, so long as it is not a mask for illogic. Just move on already.

OK, we'll decide things like racing is a petting zoo contest.

Which animal is our most favorite, boys and girls?

Yes, he is very pretty when his groom ties a ribbon on his tail.

Oh wait--you mean the horse.

I agree...this logic is even dumber than most of the Pro-zenyatta threads (and I'm not a basher at all, just a realist).
Using this same logic, how wide of a margin do you think Blame would crush Rinterval or or any of the other allowance-level fillies that Zenyatta squeaked by this year? It's all irrelevant.

Bob Dylan would be proud.

Nice one.

Inadvertent, sorry. I have loved that song since I was about 14 (when it came out), so it is deeply ingrained, I guess.

Forgive me, Zimmerman!

Greatest song and well used in my opinion.
