oh well, too bad.

race dynamics... a decent speed horse getting away with a slow pace.

Plus, he's going to be HOY anyway.

Well, let's not slight Taptam and Made for Magic along the way.

The pathetic part is that the four horses you just named could beat the fields that Zenyatta beat running backwards.

Not to mention being wired twice by 2 horses who would be called good, AT BEST. Funny Z never got wired. Pace was against her many times, lone speed and everything, she always ran them down.

Face it brah...neither of them raced against anything special

Come on, Gio Pointi just isn't that good, and and he's a turf horse anyway. Mastercraftsman???? Seriously? Summer Bird was better on dirt and probably could have won last year on dirt. You can't make a case for Zenyatta based off a pro-ride win over Summer Bird.

I know you understand the difference between a speed horse getting loose on dirt and on synthetics.

That is precisely the reason why many people argued that Zenyatta's ability to overcome negative pace setups would not be nearly as strong on dirt and would lead to her having lost a couple of the races she pulled out.

Why we're arguing about what they did in 2009 with regards to HOTY is beyond me.

but i'm sure you have some reasonable excuse for that piss poor showing.

It's too bad Zenyatta got beat by Blame.

Than she would have been HOTY.

But I'm sure you have something to blame for that piss poor showing.

I guess since Zenyatta didn't lose by open lengths, it's as good as a win.

Then again, if that were so, Zenyatta's record is more like 4 wins and 16 seconds.

I do understand the difference. Like you said, I know you do.

Its hard for you to discuss this the right way, without bias. Nice avatar.

Why they both seem to be antagonistic

it's hard to believe a discussion about roger stein descended into name calling.
