Questions for Zenyatta Fans. . .

[hockey2315]

1. If Zenyatta is always "toying" with her vastly inferior opponents, then how did she win this year's Apple Blossom by such a convincing margin?

SHES MUCH BETTER ON DIRT, I said that to you 50x last year.

So much better that you could have timed her Apple Blossom win with a sun dial.

The scary thing about that win - is that the pace was not even slow in relation to the final time. That's her, right now, in an evenly paced dirt race.

What does this mean?

So her personality. . . or whatever you want to call it. . . changes when she's on dirt? Maybe you should just stay out of this thread. I don't want your head to explode.

Shes better on dirt and her connections suck, what else is there to say?

You must have missed something trying to read this through the tears caused by Doug's betrayal.

I asked--specifically and clearly--how she was able to win a race by 4 1/4 lengths (the surface is irrelevant) if she's always running down to her competition?

I don't care really. Who does she run against next? Bernie from that popular 80's movie?

For some reasson your taking personal shots at me, I dont really know why...
So I will say this, Im pretty sure you told me last year Z was better then Rachel. Im also pretty sure you told me Z would like 10f a lot better, we are talking about 12 months now so I might be wrong. There are how many Z threads up right now, this could not fit in somewhere else? The surface is not irrelevant??? WTF, how is the surface not important? Your such a ****ing know it all about everything and I dont think you realize how smug you come off sometimes. If anything I have no problem at all bashing the connections, but I think its clear she likes dirt more, she just moves better over it and seems to win MUCH EASIER.

Ill stay out now, excuse me....Ill try to stay out.

I'm a big John Shirreffs fan - and his handling of Zenyatta is the single greatest piece of management of a good horse I've ever seen. Even Bobby Frankel wouldn't dream of handling a good horse like this one has been handled.

However, his handling of her sucks bigtime if you're a serious racing fan who likes to see good match-ups.

Worst of all ... I hate her fans. Her fans I've encountered on facebook have only been like gas on the fire.

Face it men, the horse just knows how to win. She is toying with these fields. My favorite Zenyatta moment was in the breeders cup gate when Quality Road looked over and saw her there, crapped himself then bust through the gate to get the hell out of there. She is that good

[hockey2315]

Another worthless response. I should have known better.

[pba1817]

You losers can't even embrace something that is bringing positive attention to your beloved sport... She is great, beat all the best last year in the BCC and will probably be right there again this year with the speed ball pigs who are gonna stop at 1 1/4 in November at CD.

[dalakhani]

I don't think it's about her personality. I think it's preparation, surface and set up.

The trainer isn't going to have her cranked to beat that crew and with her running style and the way the race set up on that surface she wasn't going to beat them by much.

How do you top this stuff?

Lisa's Booby Trap will win the Breeders Cup Classic - and once she's in the winners circle - she will transform from a horse into the mortal flesh of her trainers dead wife Lisa.

I think that would definitely draw new fans!
