Ed DeRosa tweeted this right after the Shuvee, on Saturday, in which Zenyatta's half sister Eblouissante finished last after winning her first two races in SoCal.

Now we know why Zenyatta never shipped East. That fate awaited her against real runners on a real surface.
Obviously Eddie D ruffled a few feathers here were some of the responses-

Ridiculous tweet “@EJXD2: Now we know why Zenyatta never shipped East. That fate awaited her against real runners on a real surface.”

@EJXD2 she's not her clone Ed! Big gaps between races a big clue. Stupid argument!

@EJXD2 A truly preposterous viewpoint.

@EJXD2 The little boy in you likes to light the match and watch the explosion.

@jayemesssam @EJXD2 A rare time when Ed is just sooooo totally on a different planet. E. was vulnerable even if stepping up on west coast.

@jayemesssam @EJXD2 Zenyatta is a Hall of Famer, Ebby has never been in big sis' class.
