Default Goldlikova upset

It happens when you run all over facing the best in the world.

She lost? Oh I guess she isn't any good because she isn't undefeated. What ??she had lost before? Why did we think she was good anyway?

Did she have to cross the Alps? That can take a lot out of them.

What? No perfect drafting trip like she's accustomed to getting in the BC?

Haven't seen the race but I suspect Princess had to do some work here.

Apparently the turf was really soft. Those owners/trainer must be nuts to run under anything less than optimum conditions and risk losing. She's done.

I understand now how you view everyone in the game as a ******.

You have the ability to disect a race without actually even watching it. I mean compared to that we are all retards or perhaps more likely, mere mortals for actually having to see a race before being able to determine who got perfect trips.

Watch the replays of her BC wins, then come back and tell me she didn't get perfect trips. I realize you think you're the expert in all things here but I kick you ass when it comes to race watching. I know that sucks for you but deal with it. Open you mind up a bit. Oh wait, you're a trainer. Instead, how about going and gelding a few?

Like I said how can we possibly hope to compare to someone who doesnt even need to watch the race to tell what happened.

I hate making assumptions about people that I don't know but I would have to guess that like most boorish people who brag about things like "race watching ability", you not only wouldn't know which end of a horse eats, but that you are probably scared of them as well.

Wanna bet this no race watching, serial gelding trainer finishes ahead of you in the Dee Tee Saratoga handicapping contest?

And if you were in last years contest that would be, again...

Who cares? There's no money involved there and I'm struggling with time issues playing 5 other tracks. The contest is not exactly high on my list of priorities.

If you're up at SAR, head over to Ward's barn and see if he has any non-gelded males.

Oh my … after all the superlatives being thrown around the board about this mare … with some even using her in a pathetic attempt to diss the great unbeaten Cali mare … she gets whacked by open lengths by a 3yo.

Nice...

Ya know.. I really love Zenyatta too, but if she ever gets beat, the only reason I will be happy is to shut you up.

At least she didn't scratch because of a little rain.

If I posted a story about Loose Screw, a maiden winner today at Louisiana Downs, how can long would it take to twist it into a Zenyatta thread?

How long would it be until Smooth Operator posted? That would answer your question.
