Jazil??

It was a joke.

it would be fun to watch Birdstone mount Zenyatta

Sumitas is that you?

So was my post.

Step stool in the shed?

I like where this thread is going.

Could you imagine English Channels little runt ass trying to get a piece of Zenyatta!!

If I owned her, I'd also own Giacamo and Tiago.

Belmont favors speed. Especially controllable speed. Belmont is not typically a closers paradise.

Northern Dancer bred some larger mares, even though he was vertically challenged himself. I think he had a ramp for help with altitude. Unfortunately, 'fish and fowl' matings (those with parents from extreme ends of the spectrum) often end up one or the other, not the average. She probably needs an 'average' sized mate to keep her baby from being so big it won't fit in the gate.

1 out of 3 ain't bad

I meant that in the context of who'd they would be likely to breed Zenyatta with.

If they bred Zenyatta to either of those slugs I would pikit with PETA.. Talk about cruelty to animals two super slugs getting near "her majesty" is propostorous

Many times owners have bred great mares to suspect stallions in hopes of building up the reputation for that stallion.

Though not quite the case with this one I'm posting here, check out this for a great absurdity:

A better example of a prize mare going to a terrible stallion to build up that stallion is this one:

That one is not nearly as big an absurdity though.

The question was who will Zenyatta be bred to.

Not who you'd like to be bred with.

:tro:

I predict Tiago.

i had to wonder the same thing. the sweeping turn is perfect for zenyatta. if anything, belmont is probably the closest thing to a neutral site. the motivation is that zenyatta has got to win in something other than whats shes been in. unless she wins the classic(even that might not be enough), rachel will be horse of the year. won the oaks by 20. ran in the preakness, beat the boys. shipped to belmont, won by 20 again. beat the boys again in the haskell. i believe shes raced on 5 tracks now and won and her season isn't even fininished. who knows what she will accomplish next. if things go right for her! meanwhile zenyatta beats that same sorry division out there, sometimes barely. the owner almost has to make a move because rachel accomplishments are beginning to overshadow anything seen in recent history. plus the fact, we the fans, deserve this race for supporting thoroughbred racing. years ago they made it happen. even when horses were shipped by train, for crying out loud! this could make the whole year for racing, its a shame if it doesn't!
