Some real nutcases post at the Paulick report.

Maybe the man upstairs will give Steve Byk the best (Pancreatic Cancer).

This “f_cker” tries to use his radio station to “influence” and spread his east coast-biased views.

He spends more time talking about west coast synthetics, than Keeneland and Turfway synthetics.

The next time I see him, I am going to blind side him, and slug him and put him to the canvas.

He better hope (for his own good), that he does not attend/or perform a live show on the west coast.

I’m patient. I’ll be waiting for him.

That what I was saying a couple Pages back its one thing to Say you don't like a guys shows but using the word Nutcases is putting it very nicely.

Ok, people have gone to the clink for doing less than what is being suggested two posts back.

Mr. Paulick owes Mr. Byk an apology, i think.

BTW - I'm coming to miraja's side. People who are so deranged about a horse that they would threaten to "slug" a critical radio host and "put them on the canvas", only after hoping the radio host first comes down with pancreatic cancer, don't exactly engender much support from outsiders for Zenyatta.

I used to like the Lakers but there was this Laker fan who murdered two people. Now I can't stand the Lakers.

Great second hour yesterday with Steve Haskin.

DrugS rattled some cages over there by presenting facts with his arguments. But there is no point in trying to debate with people who believe that the streak says it all.

why would a Euro know anything about pounds?

they deal in kg's and stones

Hey Chucky, did you read Savantore's comments on Best Pal at that Paulick Report site?

If not, I'll quote him here for you to answer the Best Pal vs Zenyatta remark.

Though I'm not really that sure you were being serious thinking Zenyatta would beat BP 90 out of 100 times.

You used to like the Lakers? That seems to be in poor taste in the first place.

I can't dispute that

I thought so, Haskin made some very insightful points. It wasn't as rambuctious as Wed's exchange but just as good radio IMO.

Just like I thought Rachel has to be considered one of the all time great fillies- jury out on how good she will be this year.To me I thought we were well past that.

I see people holding her to a different standard then other filles and mares from the past (who were running in pre-synthetic days). She hasnt lost. If she does lose I am sure you are going to have people come out and say see she isnt that good. As if all time greats dont lose. Again love a good debate. But not sure why people are still dug in against Zenyetta. Baffling. Just like baffling to hear people say Rachel shouldnt have won HOY based on this year.

There's no synthetic history to go on. Who do you compare her to?

Obviously you put her up there with synthetic greats like Tiago and Lava Man.

There is no way I will compare her to the most famous american turf runner but your question sparked my curiosity and I found an interesting article about the origins of turf racing in the US.

The most famous American turf runner? You're talking about English Channel, right?

While it is fair to question her dirt form because really she hasn't raced on it enough to gauge whether she will be just as good or better on it, you can't take away what she has done on the "synthetics". People like to make the point she beat just turf horses in the classic, since turf horses handle synth just as good if not better, she then beat some pretty good turf, dirt, and synth runners in the BCC last year. Infact she made minced meat out of them. You can take issue she hasn't been tested on dirt, you can take issue with her campaign, but you cannot take issue with the field she beat last fall at SA, to do so you are ignoring all the Euro's that have fared well on synth the last 2 yrs at SA.
