I hope they can get this done....
 

They're only adding $400K? Should've made it more. . . Not really that big of a draw $ wise for Zenyatta's connections.

It would be foolish to bring Zenyatta for a race with Rachel at Belmont. The track favors horses with Rachel's style. It would take her out of her routine leading up to the Synthetic Breeder's Cup that was the year long goal. Best we can hope for is they both stay around for another year and meet up in Churchill's Breeders Cup.

Right. If they're looking for a fair surface it's definitely Churchill. :rolleyes:

I think Saratoga would be a fair surface. That won't happen at this point.

How exactly does Belmont favor horses with Rachel's style?

Yeah, I mean who wouldn't want to run Zenyatta, who has an incomprehensibly long stride and massive size, on the largest dirt track in North America?

NT

zenyatta to be bred in the spring.

It's dirt, not plastic.

Mortal lock she get nailed by Giants Causeway....

Not sure how or why the purse means anything to anyone other then the trainers.. You can't make the purse much more then a mil because then it could be viewed as overwhelming the BC Distaff which is suppose to be the Championship.

NYRA needs to get this done..They will get 65k at the gate if they pull this off

I challenge..Where is my red flag

If you owned Zenyatta, where would you send her?

She is a very big animal.. I haven't looked at any reference guides. I few come to mind immediately. Pulpit, Ap Indy, Speightstown(she could use a little speed), Tiznow, M'doro..My first would be Pulpit and second would be Indy but I have to qualify the thoughts as completely guesses at this time.

Maybe AP Indy, but she isn't going to Tiznow or O'ro or even Pulpit. Why go to Pulpit when you can go to AP Indy??

Stop it with the Speightstown love

With so many of the "high-end" stallions from the Mr. Prospector line, you'd have to think AP Indy, who recently produced Test winner Flashing out of a Machiavellian mare and has shown a pretty good affinity for mares from the Mr. Prospector line (for example, 17% SW from both Mr. Prospector and Seeking the Gold mares, from a pretty large sampling). At 16.2 hands, Medaglia D'Oro might not be the best choice for a mare Zenyatta's size.

These Speightstowns are off the friggin charts so far. To tell you the truth I think she is so big and so differently made that figuring out what matches her physically is incredibly important. I think its tough to go wrong with AP Indy and he ain't getting any younger so I guess I would want him to get first run..when push came to shove. I think it's too soon to go to Bernardini although he is one fine looking stallion.

Breed her to Midnight Lute and get a Monster Truck

:D

Breed her to a little guy who won the Belmont.
