Zenyatta.

slotdirt 08-26-2010 11:06 AM

That does look like a Zenyatta-like field.

It's a G1. You clearly don't know horse racing.

In all seriousness, the field doesn't look bad. At least we know L@T doesn't belong in claiming races.

Yeah, but while Zenyatta was allegedly going to try new things this year, Rachel is, by running a distance she hasn't yet.

slotdirt 08-26-2010 11:18 AM

Right, so this is basically Rachel's Santa Margherita with Life at Ten playing the role of St. Trinians.

Rachel tried a lot of new things this year--let's give her credit for the things she did this year over last .

Lose.

Never ran in a G1 until August.

Had races invented and tailored for her .

Did not run against the males she " demolished " last year.--or any males at all

Acquired a " big, new body "--ostensibly from Earl Scheib

Forgot her blinding acceleration at the far turn

Screwed up her lead changes



You Retchelistas sure have some nerve mocking the Zentards all right .

Zenyatta has indeed run in the same crap G1s as last year---boring, unimaginative, but perfect. And yes, she only shipped once .

She has held her form and her condition., and her body also got bigger each year--or didn't anyone notice ??.

Frequent flyer miles, changes of equipment, and your hopes and snark are not going to change Rachel into last year's model .

That said, I fervently hope she wins Sunday and goes to the Classic .

The proper term is Zenyattards, but since you are in that camp, I wouldn't expect you to get that (or anything else) right.

Sightseek 08-26-2010 12:24 PM

Someone is extra touchy today....

I would not expect you to get that both terms are acceptable, dolt --since you are a bombastic Retchelista ....

However I am not a Zenyattard or a Zentard--I am a fan of all good horses .

First of all, ew. Second of all, it's "mother may I.." and third, if you have to ask people...then no.

clyde 08-26-2010 06:47 PM

Well fine then,Lowinsky.


Go pinch Hossy's nipples.







Better yet...go pinch Thebby's nipples.

So what about this sceniro.
L@T is going 100% for sure to the front. Is Calvin going to let her go? I dont think he can, he has to go right with her, sit just to the outside. What if they open up 10 early, and run off? I think L@T has been very lucky.... I think Rachel should sit off and blast her, win by 15. But what if Rachel cant get the distance and is softened up? Who is running late?

The Indomitable DrugS 08-26-2010 10:12 PM

Jesus. Just shut up.

This sux, Rock

Would be hilarious to see RA get out-gamed in the lane (again) … but it's against my religion to root for a Pletch.




The 14 second final eighth should be scintillating to watch, tho..................

As opposed to a 29 second opening quarter.
