Ok,Congaree and Smalltimer.
You win.
i take back "gutless". It was too far. Like I tried to explain I was being intentionally "over the top" to provoke some conversation, as we wait about 11 more days for what could be a great day of wagering on Belmont day.
Let's say the connections are taking the less ambitious route, which makes this gambler really appreciate what Jess Jackson did with Rachel.
I wrote that post last night right before I went to bed, after reading the roadmap that Shirreffs was laying for the rest of the year and I was really disapointed to see that we will never see Zenyatta in a challenging matchup. I am still distraught over last year's Breeders Cup Distaff, where we would have had the best filly/mare race ever IMO, if that race was on dirt. Zenyatta, Proud Spell, Ginger PUnch, Hysterical Lady, the Shug filly, the filly from Godolphin, and a few others.
Great matchups and the associated betting opportunities are really interesting IMO. And the zenyatta campaign is not going to provide any of either.
