Hystericalady's dirt form just plain beats Zenyatta at 8.5 furlongs in a small field. Her synthetic form certainly doesn't - and synthetic tracks tend to negate tactical edges in slow paced races and smaller fields.

For people who aren't going to follow the Oak Tree meeting that closely - the result of that race could go quite a way in how people view the new pro-ride surface after opening week of Oak Tree.

Here's hoping Wait a While wins for fun so she takes a ton of $$ at the BC.

What did you think of yesterday's results?

I didn't buy the SA form yesterday so I have no idea how to evaulate it.

I've been very upset with Zenyatta's connections in the past for skipping the Hollywood Gold Cup and the Pacific Classic for easier competition. This time I can't be too upset because I think the second best horse on the program is Hystericalady, although her form on the junk is not nearly as good as on real dirt.

Agreed. I'll tell you what, I don't care what anyone says but I'd love to see her in the Classic and not the Distaff. She ran the last 1/16th in under 6 seconds...rough math and all that's impressive.

The track is a highway today so times or fractions really dont mean a whole lot.

But to come from off the pace so effortlessly...

She does things pretty effortlessly, if she does go to the Classic and wins, alot of if's yes. Can anyone deny her a HOY Eclispe award? She's a big filly and I don't think it would be a disadvantage for her to try, in addition she would get a weight allowance and at her size that would be sort of giving her a 5 ft head start not as if she needs one.

If ever there was a time to run this horse versus the boys it is now. Zenyatta has the look of a real monster. I'd be happy and stunned with even money in the LC (distaff).

Agreed, the supplemental fee is probably the hold up I presume?

He's been disappointing on synthetics ever since his Goodwood victory last year. Maybe I have just thought too highly of him though.
