oh, and by the way:
HOL-Californian S (G2): Rail Trip 108 (R. Ellis/R. Bejarano)
HOL_Vanity H (G1): Zenyatta 103 (J. Shirreffs/M. Smith)
but i'm sure that's being simplistic as well....

All the figs say are they are in the same ballpark, on synth you have to view them with a much broader view. Zenyatta ran a 12.03 final 8th, where Rail Trip ran 12.87 carrying
11lbs less. On synth these are when races are usually won.
Regardless, I agree with Mike Smith's comments after the race, she may have needed this race and believe it or not she may move fwd from this race, in addition Moss was quoted as saying Delmar was not written in stone via Hovday. We will see.
