Seconditis?

Yep.....Serena and Rachel last year.....Blame in November, Lindsey Vonn now.....Blame, again, in a few weeks.

At least she managed a few wins, from time to time.

Oh btw....that pic on the left?....Blame getting a good view of Haynesfield's rear end in the JCGP.

I know which one I'd rather see around the old fireplace at the ski lodge.

To me, this is a sign of "same old" things to come like last year.

Which is somewhat fine with me since zenyatta's owners need to "man up" with their decision to race her against females for most of her career.

Lindsay Vonn should've won.

Voters held it against Zenyatta that she's a synthetic specialist who ducked racing against Lindsay all year.

The figures experts may well have deemed Z so lacking in early speed, the skiier had a shot at wiring her!

Actually, comparing Vonn and Zenyatta's achievements (in one sense) is apt, and therefore the vote seems reasonable to me.

Vonn won the event to which skiers point every four years, and Zenyatta lost in the event to which she was pointed all year.

Against that back drop, did Zenyatta get any votes at all.
