It is not uncommon for hoboes to nearly get run over by freight trains.

Shouldn't St. Trinians be the conduit that unifies this board for one fleeting moment as the biggest bet-against of the century the next time she runs?

The anti-Z's will see a massive underlay who's reputation is essentially based on a losing performance.

The pro-Z's will see a great horse that had it's heart ripped out by an even greater one.

Or do the pro-Z's desperately want St. Trinians to do well next year so they have another name to type besides Twice Over and Rip Van Winkle?

Depends who you talk to.

Once on paper. Fans will start factoring in the wide trips.

Might be more than 20 in that instance.

When I found the crusty Zenyatta saddle cloth I gagged and had to stop working on your car.

I didn't want to say anything as I didn't want to embarrass you.

The car was clean except for a few yacht brochures lying on the passenger seat

One of those damn kids you employ must be a Z fan !

Crist



Really can't blame him, tho, as she is a dual Breeders' Cup champ and all, but look … I'm a busy guy and just can't deal with your rookie mistakes anymore.

Have no choice but to take it to the dealer next time…

How many no mas does a horse get? He already showed he didn't want 10F last year. Think he might be up to it this year? I mean, Pletcher is actually working him 5F and even having him gallop out 7F. Now, that's real endurance work.

No mas from QR.
No mas from RA's connections (after little Z whopped her ass good).
No mas from St. Trinians (after Z almost broke her down).

F u c k the Beyer #'s; # of no mas should really be the measuring stick.

St. Trinians is an outstanding synthetic female. I don't think her reputation is based on a losing performance ... she was 2.00-to-1 going into that race off of a 100 day layoff - and facing Zenyatta at 9fs at Zenyatta's home track.

Nothing was made of how she broke into the side of the gate and stumbled at the start - or how she was excessively wide on both turns for no other reason than to avoid being trapped by John Shireffs other horse in the race. More was made about losing a shoe on the far turn.
