Ok, I really tried. But that was boring for me. Knowing the winner before the race is like taping a basketball game, watching the highlights on Sportscenter, then watching the game after. But on the bright side, there is good news. We'll get to see this again in the Lady's Secret. Here's the field for that race:

Zenyatta-1/5
Tough Tiz's Sis-8/1
Romance is Diane-12/1
Model-10/1
Whoever else was in the race today.

Anyone willing to bet against me being right? Here are the results:

Zenyatta by 2 in 1:42.73
Tough Tiz's Sis 2nd
Model 3rd

Come on......somebody bet me.

Either Model is really small or Zenyatta is a giant. I know she's a big filly, but damn, she looked like a different species next to Model.

she's a giant-17 hands is big for a horse, regardless of sex. but the difference between her and her 'peers' is striking-she towers over her fellow distaffers.
with the way the handicap division is going, and with zenyattas ability on AWT, they ought to run her in the classic rather than vs females come bc time-but i doubt they go for it.
a rematch with ginger punch, who zenyatta already handled pretty easily once...
