I certainly like Rachel Alexandra a lot more of the two horses ... but I don't think she'll have a prayer on the Pro-Ride with Asmussen training her ... I'm playing her to finish off the board in that race.

I hope she dominates up to that point.

I hope she wins the preakness, belmont, test, travers, JCGC, the Carter and I hope Assman skips any breeders cup race because its on synthetics... sporting move last year to run curlin, but take THAT breeders cup and your stupid decision to run the championship races all on turf.

I also hope Quality Road, Dunkirk, IWR (if hes back), Fresian Fire.. and all the other top dirt horses skip the race and say shove it.

Lets have the championships settled at JCGC day at belmont...

I'd give another chance to Cocoa Beach to beat Zenyatta

Is Music Note still in training, or did she retire?

Default More questions concerning Zenyatta

I had the impression that Zenyatta was scratched out of the race last week following the announcement that the Breeders' Cup was staying at Santa Anita. The trip to race at Churchill looked like a scouting trip, didn't it?

Does it bother anyone else that she hasn't started yet this year?

Braving the certain derision to follow, does anybody think the other older, Grade I-winning filly in the Shirreffs barn might be the filly who pulls the upset in the Distaff come the fall?

Just wondering,

SOTN

Not sure, but I think I got a notice from DRF the other day saying she had a work.
