And if Zenyatta had run in the Juvy male race, she'd have been in a photo for 3rd. Maybe 2nd.

Hey, if just about everyone else can stay horrifically stupid stuff around here, at least allow me the right to post something that is at least in the realm of possibility.

It is same type of thinking that says the best college football team could beat the worst team in the NFL.
Which a lot of people believe is possible.

I was trying to make a point Jack.

That being said, I seem to remember this book I had as a kid called "The Way it Was". It was a sports book recounting big moments in sports, like the shot heard round the world.

I seem to remember a college team beating the pros several decades ago

You thinking a 2yo with no prior route experience stretching out to 10f and beating anything in the BC Classic is pure comedy.

Well, most people think I am funny.

Do you really believe that a horse that can rate and stay relaxed until the very moment the jock pushes the button to go would somehow go from running what he did in the BC Juvy to losing by 30 over the same track?

It's not like he was some loose on the lead horse that stole the race and would have had to contend with a field full of speed. I find it nearly impossible to believe he would have run a 2 minutes and 8 second race with his style and ability.

Wow IC do you realize you're starting to sound just like them

What's so hard to imagine about Uncle Mo not running last in the BCC when the last place horse basically was distanced??

It's not like I'm saying Mo would have won the BCC for fun, in a canter!

All I'm saying is that it's ridiculous to think that with as great as he ran, he basically couldn't get an extra furlong and a half in 26 seconds! I know there's more to it than that, but to me, it's nearly impossible that he would have run last.

I don't think he would hit the classic board by any stretch, but Mo was the best, easiest winner I can remember, and many had this juvenile field as above average going in.

A shame that BoysAT is being overlooked for the race he ran. No it wasn't MO quality but it was a very very good race.

The Bid was Nashoba's Key's biggest fan east of the Rockies. He chewed me out in a post here when I argued that Zenyatta would probably beat her.

Now, he's a rabid Zenyatta fan for some reason.

The reason is that he is a mindless drone.

By the way, do you still believe Z would have beaten NK?

Who knows.

At that time I just happened to be a big fan of Zenyatta off of her impressive first three wins... and John Shireffs has always been a favorite trainer of mine. You don't name your E-mail after High Wire Act if you're not a fan of that trainer.

I sure wish I could just bet the horse that will run the fastest fig...I mean my best bet on Day 1 was Red Desire and sure enough she ran the fastest in the race while finishing 4th. Of course when pea brain Kent is on her and goes 4W 4W in race with quite a few turns, it won't matter much.
