I'm going to take abit of a contrarian view here regarding Zarkava. After watching her race again
1. Yes it was a very good effort and performance, only a crazy person would disagree.
However with her running style and the race being at 1 1/2 coupled with a strong pace setter, I think the stumble at the start was not as bad as widely reported in affecting her performance.
Once again very good performance, yes...But great? I'm not so sure. I will agree she is a very smart performer that may be headed for greatness, but she won't be my Arc horse.
