Excerpt:

"[Zenyatta] is a super mare and a great horse for racing," Gomez said. "I have all the respect in the world for her, but I'm hoping she suffers her first loss on Saturday."

"The Classic field is always good, but Zenyatta takes it to another level," Stall said. "We have the top older horses, the top three-year-old, and we're all coming together. This is a very deep field."

Of course he hopes she doesn't win because he's on another horse. 10% of the winner's share is $300,000. Second is only $100,000. Which do you think Gomez should want?

Given you left that very important piece of info out, you make him look like a hater, especially given the title of the post. So c'mon Andy, what are your intentions here? If it's just to stir s#$t then I'm good with it as I have done the same.

Why is it certain people think they have a lock on knowing what threads SHOULD and SHOULDN'T be created?

The only thing getting older than Zenyatta threads are people complaining about Zenyatta threads...

Here's a news flash...threads that don't receive replies tend to die quick deaths due to lack of interest...

It would be BIGGER news if Gomez had said that he hopes Zenyatta WINS this year's Classic...

I was hoping to attract the maniacs from the Z workout thread so i could do a Dr. Phil thing and help them vent. I clearly failed.

You weren't one of the fish I was trying to catch. If you read the whole Z workout thread you would see them.

That's normal operating procedure for the "Queen". She also received a two-car escort when she shipped to Oaklawn.

Royalty has its privileges..

I threw you a curve ball. I deleted that post and put it in the workout thread. I hope you don't get pissed and attack me. :D

Now I see you've thown me a curveball and deleted your post. Hmmmmmm.

This thread never was on stride anyway. All I seemed to accomplish was to piss off OTM Al.
