Hypothetical question
I was bored and looking through Azeri's lifetime PPs last night. Which grade I or grade II races for older males would a very good, not necessarily all-time great, mare like Azeri have won this year? I'll start the list:
2008 Suburban

Wouldn't it be quicker to name the ones she wouldn't have won this year?

he surely could have won the woodward and Gold Cup. probably the Met mile too.
Pretty good considering he is like 22 years old

He'd probably have won about half of them at his current age. Seriously.

Don't know how she would handle a synthetic course but on dirt, it's hard to see any race that was run this year and think that given her running style and ability, she couldn't have won.

I just want to point out for the 27th time that Azeri never lost a two-turn race when she was sent to the early lead.
And she didn't need things her own way either, as evidenced by the 2002 BC Distaff when she went the opening 3/4 in 1:09 and change and ran Imperial Gesture and Jerry Bailey into submission, costing that one 2nd place. Of course, after Azeri spanked Bailey again in the Apple Blossom AND Gor For Wand in 2004, Bailey made sure to get the last laugh at Saratoga when he absolutely destroyed his own mount's chances in the 1 1/4 mile Personal Ensign by sending her to the lead and running the opening 3/4 in 1:09 so that Azeri would not win. Bailey's mount finished butt-naked last, and Azeri got passed late and ran 2nd. Ok, I'm done. Back to my hole.
