About Me
- Brian Zipse
- I've been going to the races and following the horses since before I can honestly remember. For example, my best recollection of being in the stands for Secretariat's amazing run in the Belmont was not the race, but the stands shaking so much beneath my feet. Quite an experience for a little guy who just turned 4! Two of my favorite fellow handicappers are my brother and my father. My one year old daughter is already showing signs of loving the horses :>) My favorites...how about Wajima, Spectacular Bid, Fancy Naskra, Five Star Flight, Christmas Past, Princess Rooney, Lady's Secret, With Approval, Paradise Creek, Sunday Silence, Unbridled, Skip Away, Free House. Musket Man and Rachel Alexandra, just to name a few.

Waya :-)

Is this a changing of the guard? Huntington is down! Huntington is down! The new champ is Marti. Congratulations Marti, Waya is correct, two in a row!
Darn you marti you stole my answer! Lol. I too say Waya Brian.
I remember Waya quite well. She came over at the same time as a mare named Flying Water, who I believe had beaten Alleged in Europe. Cruget rode her in her debut at Belmont; she accelerated so dramatically in the stretch that Cruget had no where to go, and he steered her into the rail, and that was the end of her. But for that, Brian would be writing a post about her today.
Down but not out. Always fun! Love doing the work to figure it out!
LOL Brian...as I noted on FB, I got lucky to just be around this morning. Yes, I knew the answer (did a quick double check, but just one of your clues gave her away)...had I been a little later, Billy would have had it first, I have no doubt!

Too Late...I've got to check fb more often! Waya, by Faraway Son out of War Path, was my answer also.
Me too Billy...it's a researcher's playground! ;-)

Sorry LDP, only one winner.
Mark, I like your style...Flying Water was fantastic, her acceleration was a sight to be hold. She and Waya did come over together together and there was no doubt as to was better at the time...Flying Water. In fact Penna raced them the same day at Belmont, first time in the U.S., in different races. Flying Water was electrifying...until, sadly she went down, ending in tragedy. Waya went on to be the best turf horse, male or female, in the nation that year in my opinion, although Mac Diarmada won the title.
I know Brian, just the feeling of being left out since I'm in school and hardly have any computer time during these. I'm not blaming you, it's fun, these triva games, love them.
I was because of Waya that we have female turf eclipse award. I will never forget her races with Overskate. Saratoga has a race named the Waya.
