I'm sure Flores has to feel really good about that.
The amusing thing about the Nashoba's Key VS Zenyatta match-up that wasn't - was that I was all prepared to root for Zenyatta like a loud rowdy 9-year-old girl would. I would have pulled for her with every fiber of my being. I loved Shirreffs as a trainer, my E-mail and some passwords are old horses he trained about ten years ago - I really liked her first three wins and most of all Nashoba's Key's fans annoyed the living hell out of me and Zenyatta didn't have a single annoying fan yet that I witnessed.
Those two would have taken turns beating each other. Zenyatta would have probably taken a few more even though stylistically NK would have been a match-up problem and seemed to like Del Mar better than Z.
Just the gridlock it could have caused dividing those fans would have been wonderful.
