Well I thought of all her races she did not like the Santa Anita track at all, in fact dirt seems to be her best surface based on visuals. She should boycott santa anita like Curlin.

I'd be kind of surprised. Shireffs is pretty conservative. I think they will run in the Distaff.

Zenyatta was always better.

The more I think about, it is pretty doubtful that they would run her in the Classic because they will be running Tiago in the Classic. I would doubt that they would want to run their horses against each other when they can run one in the Classic and the other in the Distaff.

Not that I think she can't handle it, but Zenyatta has never raced beyond 8.5f.

i have always been a big tiago fan, BUT....is it realistic that he will do anything in the classic ? when i say a big tiago fan, i mean big, i bet him in the santa anita derby as a maiden, i bet him in the derby and in the belmont, always liked him, but he is a dirt horse, not a synthetic horse

I agree, she did not perform like her usual self. Smith had to work and if the Tough Tiz Sis had not get herself into trouble then zenyatta loses.

I don't know if you saw the interview with Shireffs after the race today. Christina O. asked him if he has considered running Zenyatta in the BC Classic. He responded, "Not at all."

LOL....She didn't look that impressive today either, if the 1 didn't have to steady and then go outside, I think she wins.....

I agree that she was not overly impressive today. And as you said, the other filly may have beaten her with a clean trip.
