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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
