Not only did she have to go against 100 mph headwinds, but everyone else got a 100 mph tailwind at the same time!

Not enough vitriol.

It was a good first try though!

Hey, why not?

We already have an unofficial contest among the Zenyattards as to who can come up with the stupidest post of the minute.

I said this elsewhere so I'm just going to say it... I hated the piece.

Pretentious, affected and wanna-be intellectual...

No thanks.

I'd ask who is winning but I think I'd rather guess and leave it at that.

The thing is MMSC, there aren't any winners. Just whiners and losers.

They are sure trying their stupid little hearts out though.

Actually, isn't it sort of the opposite? Shouldn't emotion be taken out of it?

Don't get me wrong, it was obviously a great racing moment, and while you didn't have to be at Churchill to feel it, I'm sure it was exponentially more electric being there. .

They also spun her around, put a piñata up at the finish line, and gave her a stick to carry in her teeth during the race. To win, she not only had to finish first, she had to knock out all the candy.

so her close second outweighs all the bs racing she did the rest of the year? if she doesn't get hoy, it isn't her fault. that responsibility lies squarely on her owners shoulders.

Obviously. They put all their chips on red and it came up black. It isn't much harder than that to understand.

Was that racing moment on Saturday any more electric than dozens of other horse racing moments that happen yearly? From a betting perspective, I get just as jazzed up about a head bob in the seventh at LRL as I did for the Classic the other night.

I literally got goosebumps watching Goldikova, which is something for an old fart like me. Anything else had to be second.

More like it came up 00 Green.

To say it came up black is to imply that if they ran the race 100 times, she'd only win 50% of the time, when clearly it would be a much higher winning percentage.
