Re: The Rodney Dangerfield of Horses (721 Views)

As an owner whose horse raced first time synthetic in the cup I can only say that good horses to be called great must perform on all surfaces.I just don't understand why the powers that be could not have arranged for two races credibly spaced on each surface.Not only would that have been great for racing but it would have put to rest all the speculation about who should be horse of the year.Sadly ,we have probably seen Zen run her last race and the probability of that no longer exist.A shame though, as having been lucky enough to see each of these splendid horses perform both at Saratoga for Woodward and Sat.at Santa Anita and being witness to the excitement and affection generated among the public for these wonderful animals I can only say "what could have been".
