These stupid fans are freaking her out!![/QUOTE]
No kidding! Poor thing looked a little stressed this time with all the crowd screaming. Hope it doesn’t wig her out for the race. Go Zenyatta!
Welllll, the fans aren’t stupid, they’re excited (and probably gassed!).
My favorite part of today is the groom for Goldikova running down the lane with her, cheering her on, skipping and celebrating. Been there, done that and, trust me, it wasn’t a BC race!
yeah, this is good stuff
but WHAT do you suppose it is doing to Quality Road!?:yes:

This is wild stuff.
Fair play to ESPN for not talking over it. Who needs stupid talking heads, gimme just the horses.[/QUOTE]
I love it, I love it, and so does she.
I keep telling myself it’s OK if she doesn;t win. Of course it is. But oh GOD, I cannot handle this. I tried to beat her in my bets but I WANT to lose my money.
LET’S GO Z!

The stupid fans were the ones at Stuart’s this year walking across XC with riders not only on course, but a few hundred feet in front of them :eek: GO ZEN!
Sorry, I just don’t think they think about what their high-pitched screaming does to ALL the horses. I was feeling sorry for the grooms trying to lead them all.
I’m just too scared! Experts saying Zen will be lucky to come in third.

From a betting standpoint I’ve gone against her… the prices on Quality Road and Blame, it would be criminal to pass them up, not to mention a little flutter on Espoir City.
However, I won’t complain if she makes me poorer.
Amazing decision on someone’s part at ESPN, that long walk with no commentary, just the sound of the fans.

So did I, Drvmb1ggl3. I want to lose my money. I really do.
So exciting!
What happened with that start?! Intentional?
I think she just broke poorly.
I’m shaking. That was still amazing.
Oh damn.
Aww… she tried so hard. Too much traffic.
what a shame!
Damn. She ran a good race though. Poured her heart out too on that one.
What an amazing race she ran. Absolutely no fault in her. What a great lady.
OH MY GOD! HOW did she even get to 2nd?! Even if she didn’t win, she just BLEW my mind with that. Sorry. Sorry. Totally over-excited non-racing-informed person posting. Going away now… going away…
