I honestly can't understand why you keep bringing up Rail Trip. Is there a reference I'm not getting?

He brings it up because he's a Zenyattard trying to mock Zenyatta haters who made fun of the Zenyatta connections when they ducked Rail Trip, back around the Hollywood Gold Cup.

I know.

I don't think they had Mike Smith programmed correctly in the simulator - does he ever really go inside?

I wonder how many times they ran the race during testing to finally get the field set... Secretariat would be the first horse coming to anyones mind when running a simulation of all time greats.

I like how Rachel just happened to finish last. No way the BC people were sticking it to her for passing on two BCs.

Better than Secretariet? Sacrilegious in my book.

Nothing against Zen herself, but I will be glad when this is all over with.

Thanks for showing the clip. I will not be watching 60 Minutes tonight.

Just imagine the uproar if some other racing organization made a similar simulation with Rachel winning and Zenyatta finishing last.

The hypocracy is literally sickening.

Barbaro only ran at PIM once, and that distance once. How do they program those things?

And why did they pick him anyway?

Cool Comon man you haters grow up!
Are you haters for real! She is the best thing going for the horse industry now. The trainer had the patience to let her grow into her body and unlike some other trainers cares about the horse. She is amazing and when she wins the classics please realize you are seeing one of the greatest ever. Cherish it and quit being so negative. Her record does her talking for her!

Everything you just said is false. That's hard to do. Removing the training bra has been long overdue, but they refuse. A 'champion' who ducks the best competition 364 days out of the year is terrible for racing, tool.

I disagree. Why does she need to chase anyone to claim her champions status?? She showed up for 2 breeders cup (and won) and going on her third at CD. Champions do not need to chase contenders. Life at Ten, Blind Luck, Rachel, Havre de Grace connections know where Zenyatta is but they never took the chance to run against her. As much as you like to believe that John Sherrifs picks and choose the horses Zenyatta runs against and beats, we both know thats just not true.

Thank god connections of prior champions didn't have this attitude. Hopefully future ones won't either.

As much as you would like to believe surface has nothing to do with why no one will go out west to face her, we both know that's just not true.

You really believe what you just wrote? And that it's a level playingfield on the tires in Cali? Shirreffs has done everything except breed slow horses specifically to line up against her.

She showed up for three races. Woo. Hoo. Let's just induct her into the Hall of Fame today.

Threads like this, and all talk of Zenyatta and/or Rachel just sucks out all my energy; it is exhausting to read the same crap over and over again. Barring some sort of catastrophe, I'm singling Zenyatta in my multi-race bets and spreading on the others.
