Going 4f at Los Al?

Indian Blessing was pretty strong up to 8.5. Im pretty sure this one would be ok going 8.

I don't know... For some reason it feels incestuous.

Of all horses to send her to. Oy vey.

Here's to hoping her 2nd season is with a worthy stallion.

I think it had something to do with Baffert training both of them.

Maybe they've been giving each other "the look" across the shedrow. . .

Or a freebee for Hal?

It better be free

Maybe Steve can do a live remote Feb 1?


"Folks, this is interesting. Indian Blessing is pissed, she wants no part of Zensational..Who knew she was jewish

More like the connections of Zensational should be paying the owner of Indian Blessing.

These people have been with Baffert since the beginning. I suggest Baffert has a lot of say as he should.. If he is asking for one for the TEAM he deserves it. Indian Blessing was a terriffic horse.

Dude, what are you on?

This offspring has the potential to be the perfect "rabbit" for the return of Better Talk Now.

BTN is getting stem cell therapy?

Baffert has trained for these connections forever. I would think that if you have a trainer for 20 plus years and he just campaigned a wonderful filly for you, that you are willing to take his word on a lot of things. I guess if Bafferrt thinks Zensational is a terrific match for Indian Blessing then her connections should listen! You know breeding is hardly pure science. A lot goes into it and luck certainly plays a huge part.. Think about all the fantastic mares that have been bred to the very best stallions and the pair produce nothing but frogs.. There are so many great great mares that never produced anything. So regardless how selfish Baffert seems with his thoughts.. Who the F knows?

I think the would of Indian Blessing.. I would hope she could produce a runner from virtually any decent stallion. Or she may just toss frogs being bred to the best? Who knows..

I suspect Zayat wanted Baffert to talk to the Earnhardts to pump up Zensational's book, but I doubt he would push them into a stallion unless he was genuinely enthusiastic about the horse. He could always have gone back to Zayat with spread hands, saying "I did what I could, but they're set on Curlin."

(But I think Curlin would have been a better choice ;) )
