No one I have read that is worth a salt has ever said that.

Its very popular to take twitter and random message posts and make it the "general consensus".

No one said it period. She couldn't warm Zenyatta up, in my opinion.
But.....She ran awesome every time. I still think if Money Mike took her out to see Forever Unbridled, she never would have let her by. She still just got beat despite not being healthy. No one has been able to produce a mirror image photo of Beholder beating her. I'm sure someone would love to post it and shut me up, but since Songbird won, it won't ever happen, or It would have already. Right ?

There aren't many all time greats. Songbird = great, not an all time great.

It's when they do things that others couldn't you take notice.
Winx checks off that box.
Simply put........she's an all time great.

Humidor is an amazing horse in his own right and he loves Flemington - this won't be easy for Winx, having her first start at the track. But I still think she'll do it, of course.

She is visually impressive every time. She looks like a quarter hoss running that last quarter of a 10 furlong race. Would be cool to see her vs enable and lady Eli.

I’m sure there were a couple out here rooting against her. Maybe next time.

Just another romp in a $500,000 race at a track she never raced at.
Wins whether its 7f or 1/1/4. Soft or fast ground. Crushes G1 winners including males like they are $10 claimers..

I'll believe she's the real deal when she beats Rapid Redux.

They laugh with me
They laugh at you. Just like everyone laughed when you predictably pussied out last year on Alabama Day.

Belmont
$40 pick 5
2 3 4 6/ 1 3 4 5 8/all/ 1 4 5 7 8/ all

$200 dd
2 4 6 / 1 3 4
2 6 / 1 3
$200 exacta box
2 4 6

Surly with his ridiculous analogy of Rapid Redux to the mighty Winx was deserving of that jab from Kitan.
Maybe you should head to Church and listen during mass for a change. God looks out for fools and idiots like yourself.

My exacta box max is 100. Show me 1 $40 pick 5 or double where I went 3x3 and I'll donate to a charity of you're choice today. You can't though because you're a lying worthless pos. You bring nothing to this place.

That's completely unfair. He is pure comedy gold.

Now stop feeding the trolls.

Says the king of snide remarks and condescending posts.
I love when the Surly one calls someone an idiot because he doesn’t agree with him , and in the same post he tells them how smart they are, and that they are better than that.
