Thoroughbred History This Saturday?

This Saturday afternoon the Breeder's Cup will be televised on ABC. One of the horses running is named Zenyatta. She is a 6 year old mare who has had 19 races in here life and has never lost. That is a better record than Secretariat, Man-O-War or any other top horse has ever attained. From all appearances, she simply doesn't know how to lose.

Saturday will be her last race. She will be going against stronger and younger males. She will either have one loss and 19 wins or a perfect record and be ranked one of or the best race horse of all time. Her next stop is a life of romance, foals, and eating bonbons.

I saw Secretariat run and it was truly an astounding thing to watch. So I wouldn't miss this for anything and any of you other race fans or just plain horse lovers ... tune it and watch history being made.

 

Is that an offer to wager?

 

Do they get all dressed up with the big hats and all?

 

I agree completely Jim.

Years ago I wanted to be a professional player and bought a season's worth of Racing Forms. From that I was building a database manually. One of the first factors I listed out was mixed age races. The results were quite in line with what you point out. In the extreme, my figures showed that an 8 year old had a 25% edge over a 4 year old.

 

There's absolutely no truth to that.

PUGS RULE!

For all my furballs, just click the More link at the bottom of the Smilie list. Your pup is medium cute but it all ends there.

PUGS RULE!



And she was a seriously cute puppy also!

Well at least you have some good taste.

Here's a pic of Sassy with her big sister before we had to put her down.

 

Now you've gone too far.
