Blame is a forgettable horse who will be whisked off to stud and 'glorified'. They won't tell you about his unsoundness and bad feet, they'll tell you that breeding to him is the bomb.

Blame isn't in anyone's top 100 horses of all time list, a few years from now people will be asking "who's that horse who got destroyed by Haynesfield at Belmont in early October 2010?"

"What's his name again?"

You are getting more irrational with every post. Unsoundness and bad feet? I guess I missed that one...

What is with you lately?? You make absurd statements about Zenyatta and HOY, and now this. Calm the hell down. I used to think you were a rational poster, but you've become a mockery of yourself. If your intent is to embarrass yourself, you've succeeded. Now STOP!! Jesus

I'm sure it was owners decision, "he beat Zenyatta, a memorable name, let's get him to the shed while the gettin's good."

He's run 100% ITM in his 13 races, and he's been a monster in '09 and '10.

Some horses are not the same after running a few "big ones", why tempt fate. His stud fee would plummet if he came back and lost the next two.

Stall is a good trainer, but he's not Freddie Head.

Do you bet on horse racing? If not, please start. If you do, bet more.

I picture you pacing the floor with a picture of Zenyatta hanging out of your hip pocket and then madly rushing to the computer to research other "greats" while simultaneously refreshing your browser to check the threads on Z and then furtively writing posts like the above.........

give it a break....you are embarrassing yourself

I look at it differently.

When a poster gets to this point, I think, "Keep going! Keep going!"

It's one of the beauties of PA!

I guess that puts Zenyatta in the proper prospective. All the hype about her greatness ends with a loss to a "forgettable horse". I guess she wasn't as good as I thought. I'll have to drop her down on my list of top horses.

The salient point about Blame is that he is hardly a "monster," even in relative terms.

An efficient, winning horse, no doubt, but not a "monster."

He is a monster! Only a monster would beat Zenny in her last race. Didn't he know he was supposed to let her win?

Paolini, the 2002 Horse of the Year in Germany, ran in 23 straight G1 events on 4 continents, and if it wasn't for horrible trips in both his Arlington Million starts, he would and should have won the race twice.

Blame is the type of stallion you WANT to breed to.

as a runner he could win when he got his setup, and he had enough stamina to run all the way to the wire.

He's not some sprinter mix.

Get the right mare and you have a chance at getting a classic division horse.

And then you get another 5-6 race season.

I was looking at his 5 race win streak, then that hiccup when Haynesfield won, which I don't really count against him (mostly because I had Haynesfield coming in last in the BC...don't think much of him).

I wasn't even thinking about the classic when I posted that.

Good try though.

It appears there are a lot of people, however, who think Blame is not "all that."
