I said that a few months before St. Trinians tanked in the SA Handicap and went to the sidelines for 3 months.

In her meeting with Zenyatta .. she was making her first start off of a 3 month layoff, her last race was well off form, and she lost a shoe on the far turn... and yet she almost won anyway.

Plus, Martin Garcia was on her instead of Joel Rosario the day she faced Zenyatta ... take a look at Rosario's career stats riding route races sometime and tell me that wasn't a negative rider switch.
I didn't see anything wrong with Martin Garcia's ride on St. Trinians this day, 99% of the time this is a winning ride, the 1% was Zenyatta was the horse she was trying to stave off, instead of stalling, she put it into another gear and nailed her on the wire. Whether Rosario is a better rider than Garcia at routes is immaterial in this case, the horse couldn't have been ridden better this day.
