The statement. Not you.<br /><br />I feel your pain on the sleepy set up for Friday's fun- amazing that you managed to stay up at all. Zenyatta saved you from missing her performance by running in the Classic on Saturday. Every year I indulge in night before jitters, fun and study= sleeping between the races the next day. And, more than once, waking up for the winner's circle ceremony. When it's all over, planning a better schedule for the next year.<br />I don't bet. But your explanation of Betfair sounds intriguing, that's the closest anyone has ever come to making me want to actually advance past pedigree handicapping and very basic race stats only assessment.

After that I thought to myself, wow. I knew she was the real deal. I will admit I was not that familiar with her before the Ladies Classic. Her stride is unbelievable. I never believed that theory she was beating nothing. She is just a super, great horse. She did what she always does, gobble up that ground like a machine. To think she had no shot to win the classic was not accurate. And the distance issues I thought were unfounded. I thought the longer the race the better for her, how is more distance going to hurt her? It's just more ground to gobble up. I certainly though she could win it. I thought the race was a little tough, but I thought she had a real shot at it. <br /><br />And I'm happy for Life is Sweet,<br />she had no luck running behind Zenyatta for some time now, to see her win the Ladies Classic was great. She was able to prove she is Champion as well and have her great moment. It made it a great and special Breeders' Cup for me. Shirreffs is great.Stephen Alicknovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618235901598492374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-17187582566317293492009-11-08T19:42:05.350-05:002009-11-08T19:42:05.350-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephen Alicknovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618235901598492374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-47964125696276509962009-11-08T02:29:26.497-05:002009-11-08T02:29:26.497-05:00@The Knight Sky

Would you go swimming in 55 degree weather. We had 75 and sunny today, back in Gotham we get this type of day ten times a year and only in April-May or Sept-Oct.G.

We finally get a gorgeous sunny-n-55 degree weekend and you decided to leave the metro area?<br /><br />There were two players who had <b>Furthest Land </b> in my contest-at-the-blog. They'll be crowned champ and runnerup as a result of their remarkable prognosticating skills. <br /><br />As for you, that ticket should be enough for a fine Sunday dinner before the <i>sun comes up on Santa Monica Boulevard</i>. :PThe_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.com
