I've heard that the track was pretty fast that day. Many races were much quicker than normal. The other two horses are sprinters so no wonder they were done after 3/4s. Margin of victory was to be expected after the other two ran each other into the ground. If anything she should be praised for the ease with which she won. Too many people simply look at margin of victory and think she's outrunning horses who still have gas in the tank.
New stakes record, and she was just loping along, being eased. Phenomenal! That's right, little rabbits, try to run the Big Girl off her feet by setting suicidal fractions...She'll be right there, behind you, merely biding her time, before she leaves you gasping almost 20 lengths in the dust. Hee.
Well i guess it falls to me to defend the Greatest Filly of all time, Ruffian. RA did not break Ruffians record since Ruffian ran this race at Aquaduct not Belmont. Two entirely diferent race tracks. Also Ruffian had to run around 2 turns not just one in this Belmont version of the Mother Goose. Also you might want to check the times on other races run at Belmont that day. I hear they are all very very fast. There is no need to diss Ruffian, since this is not the same race Ruffian ran.
@queenluciaa when did I say that?

Exactly what you did. You and sweetepnoy boasted about Zenyatta getting only one second off Secretariat's Derby time.

@queenluciaa you're really going to compare 2 horses, running on 2 different racetracks, and separated by 34 years? what is this, amateur hour?

Kay then, check the broken record. Which was currently RUFFIAN'S record.

Criticize Moss for never racing Zenyatta against top horses where top horses made their bones. You're just another gullible fool.
