A Little Light Linking
Disappointment Road: “I tried to put him into the bridle but he was just going through the motions, which is strange for him,” Velazquez said. “He ran, but he didn’t give me his best race.” (The Whitney replay.)
Missing Mine That Bird: “You know, it’s just hard for me,” Woolley said … after the Whitney was over. “The one wish I had was that I was there. Man … to see him get badly beaten like that … I still love that horse.”
Speaking of love: “Mrs. Davis arrived wearing an unbuttoned Zenyatta jersey over a Zenyatta T-shirt, toting a bag bearing a Zenyatta button, then claimed her souvenir Zenyatta glasses and confessed that she would not have made the trip for any lesser animal.” (The Hirsch replay.)
Yes, maybe: “I’ve got to stop running against Breeders’ Cup champions.”
Larry Jones on Just Jenda and her formidable competition: “She was the only horse that had to race against both of them, and let me tell you, she came back with a look of wonder in her eyes.”
What good about “Luck,” says HBO executive: “There’s a confidence in the storytelling that’s enormously compelling…. It’s enormously accessible to non-horseracing people.”
