Well yeah. It's easy to have an off day. Ginger Punch is better than what she showed at Oaklawn. Hystericalady is a few lengths slower on synth. Who else has she beat....Model? Romance is Diane? Tough Tiz's Sis? Tough Tiz's Sis did win by a lot in her next race, but then again she could have just freaked in the slop.

With Music Note, Carriage Trail, and Cocoa Beach in there, I get the feeling at least one of them will come up with their best race ever.

Nowadays more crappy horses get undeserved accolades. She deserves any accolades she gets and more IMO. She's something special. I can see trying to beat a favorite, I get it. But even if one of the 3 horses you mention do throw a lifetime best, I don't think it'll be enough.

No doubt Zenyatta has a GREAT record in 2008. Do you think if Curlin gets beat, then Zenyatta wins HOY?

The only unknown in the race is if Music Note moves up on this track, if she does she might make a race of it.
