2009 Breeders' Cup

No shit. I've never seen it either. Got to feel bad for the owners, trainer and the bettors.

 

Hell of a race by Zenyatta

 

Wow! Incredible effort. There's your horse of the year.

 

Amen! That was amazing!

And seriously, I have never seen a horse lose its shit like Quality Road. Hope everything is okay with him.

 

Three winning favorites, three longshots = today's winning Pick 6 of $1.838 million.

There was one winning ticket, sold in Lewiston, Maine.

 

Still waiting for 'Alexandra to show up to the Breeders' Cup.

 

That was an amazing run. Bad trip, but put on the afterburners on the outside on the stretch run. Very impressive.

 

Zenyatta still is unbeaten and beat the best horses in the world. Rachel Alexandra won a TC race and beat males twice (or was it three times?). Either way, I'm OK if someone wants to give their Horse of the Year vote to Zenyatta, or split it between the two. Giving it to Rachel on her own seems to have the least merit, to me.

 

Still waiting for BC to be run over a genuine surface, after two years of bullshit. Churchill, '10, here we come.

 

Every favorite that got beat yesterday that I saw had the exact same thing happen, got stuck in traffic, had to go way wide, and couldn't make up the ground. Happened to Zenyatta and she won driving anyway. I don't know about Horse of the Year, but she won my Race of the Year award. What a performance. And that's after a spooky restart, too.

 

She's the Pro-Ride Horse of the Year, anyway.
