TGJB: Yeah, that\'s what I\'m going to do, get into it myself after telling the other guys to knock it off. Go yell at Teddy.

Frank: Great answer. Teddy and I just stopped laughing.

Dana666: You\'re right about Sheriffs. In one of those articles, Sheriffs said the BC classic might be an option and then a race later in the year(?) against Rachel (I\'m assuming at CD!?). I don\'t understand why they baby her so much. I think I respect an athlete who put it all down on the line and failed more than one who was perfect but never knew the extent of his/her depth, but that\'s not Zen\'s fault. I don\'t get why the Pacific Classic wouldn\'t be automatic, the timing is perfect, the race is late this year (in Sept.), and he\'d get a real gauge on whether or not she really is that good a some of us think.

Boscar Obarra: I don\'t disagree with your premise, but you are aware than ANY HORSE CAN BE MADE TO LOOK BAD WITH A S----Y RIDE.
 
 Especially a closer.  You can\'t know for sure but presumably an earlier move would have made for a easier win.

 Essentially, the ride was a stiff job, considering the pace,  until the 1/4 . She did come home in racehorse time.

 And I suspect RA would beat Z just about every time, any distance.

sekrah: When a horse has a full tank of gas left in the final furlong (judging by the fractions), the move was made too late.  This is indisputable, IMO.  It was a lousy ride.  The energy distribution that was made here was hideous.

smalltimer: First of all, Michael Johnson never ran a 100 meter dash in his life.  He won medals at the 200 and 400 meters.  So, lousy analogy.

sekrah: I was thinking of the 150m match race that drew alot of attention.  They were challenging each other to the \"World\'s Fastest Man\" title.
