GIRL POWER - Horsie thread

[KingRevolver]

Tomorrow will be a good day for us Horsie lovers.

Rachel Alexandra is racing at Belmont Park.

And Zenyatta is racing at Hollywood Park. She's undefeated 11 for 11.

I can't wait!

[TheIntegrityKid]

Hey yo, you need to text me about a half hour before those races start... I'm gonna get in on some of that...

[KingRevolver]

Yeah - I'll remind you! This is gonna be great.

Man - Zenyatta is such a beautiful horse. I was just watching some of her races. She's awesome.

And Rachel Alexandria is Rachel Alexandria.

[TheIntegrityKid]

Sweet... I have never seen Zenyatta but heard her pimped on TVG...

Rachel was kind to me in the Preakness and I hope she hooks it up for us tomorrow...

[KingRevolver]

Yeah - I fully expect both to win tomorrow. I want to see both of them in the same race!

[KingRevolver]

This is her 10th win...

[TheIntegrityKid]

if there wasnt a horse named allicansayis wow, i would've seriously used that as a simply reply...

this has to be the MOST impressive horse race ever... or well, the most impressive come from behind win... hot damn!

fukkin horse racing- such a BEAUTIFUL thing to watch.... now i cannot wait to see this horse tomorrow...

[KingRevolver]

Yeah - she's amazing. That's why I want to see her and Alexandra race. Horses are so freakin' beautiful and have so much grace! I can't wait.

[TheIntegrityKid]

They should have a one on one...

That'd make ALOT of money... what do you think the odds would be?

[KingRevolver]

Well, if Zenyatta was still undefeated then she'd be the favorite. Damn -- it's too bad they over raced Rachel Alexandria. It would've been great to see her in the Belmont Stakes!

[TheIntegrityKid]

Yeah... is Rachel elgible for next year's Triple Crown races? Even if she were, I doubt they would even put her in but was just curious because of her age

How old is Zenyatta?

[KingRevolver]

How old is Zenyatta?

Zenyatta is already 5 years old. Her and Street Sense (Kentucky Derby winner in 2007) are half-siblings.

Rachel Alexandra is 3, I believe. She'll probably be too old for next years races.

These two horses have to race this year! Maybe the Breeder's Cup?

[TheIntegrityKid]

Rachel raced at the Kentucky Oaks... that's why I thought she was 2... I think she is... Guess I'll have to look it up lol

[TheIntegrityKid]

she is 3... u r right

[KingRevolver]

Bullshit! I went to look up both horses to see if there was talk about a possible race. This is what I found in an L.A. Times article...

Each will go off the odds-on favorite today, but Jess Jackson, the owner of Rachel Alexandra, has ruled out running his horse this fall at Santa Anita in the Breeders' Cup because of the track's synthetic surface, denying a possible meeting against Zenyatta on racing's biggest weekend.

Oh well. This owner is such a prick, man. He didn't want to race her in the Belmont Stakes either. She could've raced if he really wanted her to.

[wtf]

disagree

the previous owner never raced her against the boys

this owner ran her in the preakness and won from a tough draw, she has NOTHING TO PROVE

[TheIntegrityKid]

She could prove that she could beat Zenyatta...

[Emmett Brown]

She could prove that she could beat Zenyatta...

You're on crack. She beat the boys. Before that it was MANY years before it had been done. Shes already a legend and has NOTHING to prove.

Its Rachel Alexandra too. Get it right

[TheIntegrityKid]

I didn't say she HAS to prove that... I just said she COULD prove that...

She is already a legend, yes... But beating Zenyatta could ADD to that...

[KingRevolver]

disagree

Well, you're right about nothing to prove against the boys. But why not just try to win the Breeder's Cup? If she wins, she wins - if she loses, she loses.

I mean - I understand some of the risks that come with racing with the boys...but come on.

[TheIntegrityKid]

What time are the races today???

[KingRevolver]

Rachel Alexandra at 5:17 ET and Zenyatta at 5:35 ET.
