it also shows glaringly just how much her chickenhearted connections have cost her. she should have been racing like today all year, instead of racing in paid glorified workouts.

Aren't you the 'airhead' (along with Indian Charlie) who kept posting that she wouldn't even make this race?

What is the name of that great older mare who retired undefeated after winning a Breeders Cup race at Churchill Downs?

What is the name of that great mare who became the first horse to win three Breeders Cup races?

Was quite impressed with Goldilocks today

Maybe she'll finally step up and take on the big boys in either the BCT or BCC next year…

Goldikova has earned her lofty status. How many times has she beaten males? I've lost count.

That depends on how much money you already have. The mega wealthy could find better investments for their money than buying racing prospects. They accept the risk of losing money in exchange for the chance of taking home some significant trophies, including for HOY.

I agree with you about that. Most of these big owners don't need the money. But I was curious if HOY is really important to Dahoss since he was needling SO about it. I doubt HOY is actually that big of a deal to Dahoss. He's acting like winning HOY is such a big deal but I doubt it is even a big deal to him.

She also beat Gio Ponti on his best surface, You remember him. Goldikova did have trouble with this great undefeated mare who won the most important race in the world, at least to Europeans. Her name starts with a Z, uh, I wish I could remember it.

Do people even realize, that in 20 starts, the 'worst' trouble Zenyatta ever got in was that 1/50th of a second wait she had to survive yesterday?

You are arguing with people who believe that the best horse in a race is always the horse closing the fastest at the end.

Yes.

You are right.

It would appear that I now hold the title of Biggest Tard on Derby Trail.

The current excuse is that she lost because she was so far back early.

In the next few days, the loss will be blamed on the trip over the Rockies.
