And yes winning the Phipps would certainly enhance her reputation.

I don't think Zenyatta has anything to worry about from Blame or QR at 1 1/4, if all things come together, the sceptics that want her to lose(not you cannonball) will get their wish of Beldame(weight for age)/JCGC and BC Classic. Whether it happens earlier in the yr or later is immaterial to me. I would just love to see her at Belmont and those sweeping turns. Then cap it off where her Daddy ran his best race in his career. One may hate the way Sheriff's has campaigned her in 09, but if she does close it out in this manner, his handling of her has been genious. Don't forget they shipped earlier in the year in hopes of meeting some good eastern competition, it's hardly her fault they were scared to face her.
