And for God's sake, I ain't talking about little girls. I'm referring to people who should know better, including some well known writers, and anyone who voted her horse of the year. One final And. I'm completely apathetic about the horse. I don't hate her, I don't love her, nothing in between either. In case you have not figured it out yet, I have a tendency to mock absurdities. Just because people find the zenyatta love cult to be such an extreme absurdity does not mean we all wish her to break a leg and then spend an eternity chasing Blame to the wire.

Bill Barich, lead writer for the HBO racetrack-themed series "Luck," . . . captivated an audience at the Asian Racing Conference May 7 during a session titled, "Connecting Racing with Popular Culture".
"When my first book (Laughing in the Hills) was published people wrote to me, and at least two-thirds of them wanted to tell me their story of how they got into racing," said Barich. "Invariably they began with 'I had an uncle, a father—somebody—who took me to the races as a child,' and when they're a child they're not interested in the gambling aspect, they're interested in the horse. And I really think that's the thing that's got to be sold through popular culture. It's the thing that keeps people involved." "The attraction of racing is the horse," he said. "What actually attracts people to racing is a charismatic horse. The face of racing is always the horse." http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...c-on-the-horse

2) Rachel didn't chicken out. She's a horse, she had no say in what race she entered. It made no sense whatsoever to enter that Apple Blossom based on what she was doing at the time. Better to just avoid the thing. Zenyatta could've come to Saratoga and faced Rachel in the Woodward. She didn't. Top form from both ladies is the goal or I just don't see the point. Besides which, they're both capable of beating males. Put them in an open company race (like the Woodward) and face whoever'll come. Not fillies only. They shouldn't only be thinking about each other as the class of the race. There'd likely be a small field. Open company in a G1 would expand the field size. 3) Mike Smith in no way caused Zenyatta to lose, whatever sword he might try to fall on on her behalf. Her running style did her in when confronted by a horse with enough talent and tactical speed.

you mean the style of passing everyone in every race except one, where she came from Guam to just miss ? She was never passed by anyone. That style ?

Sorry for whatever is wrong with you that you get a kick out of insulting a very good horse and her fans.
