Yeah ... Steph Beattie's string of 4 straight years with a 30%+ win rate came to an end.

Amen. Zenyatta was brilliant no doubt, but when you can't separate 3 of Rachel's races from each other and Zenyatta only has one I think it's a no brainer.

Aww... this is why I hate award shows. I feel bad for the losers. Buck up, Mosses. She'll still get in the Hall of Fame the first year she's eligible.

Pretty classy speech by Jackson, all things considered.

Whoa- way to cut away there the first second you could, ESPN News.

Mosses were bitter, you could easily tell by the looks on their faces they thought they were robbed. Lesson learned. They can only blame themselves for her campaign

I'm shocked by the margin because when Zenyatta won the Classic I thought for sure it was a slam dunk for her.

I thought it would have been a lot closer too.

Honestly, how can you not be a little bitter or disappointed? Both were magnificent this year and made history.

Mosses post ceremony interview makes it sound like they're gunning for Rachel... the match race has to be a race with the boys, doesn't it?

First Giacomo - then Bernardini - now Gio Ponti.

The Anti-Italian name bias strikes again.

How about showing a little class, I know nobody likes Jess on this board but I can guarantee you he would of at least clapped and shown good sportsmanship if Zenyatta won, instead of just sitting there looking shocked and bitter. It really wasnt that much of a shocker
