I'm not a big fan of horses that race in SoCal,but Zenyatta was IMPRESSIVE! Rachael Alexandra should be scared,because this horse will bring it to her good.

Why does a horse's geographical location determine whether or not you're a fan of them?

Because most,not all, usually do well there,then go out of state and do nothing.

That is just a ridiculous statement and completely inaccurate, but it does show how biased your opinion is.

That's pretty comical.

If anything, the trend is that horses stabled in Ky don't do well when shipping to a major circuit for a race.

Zensational is out. They have another spot for him to run somewhere? Canonize has a great way of moving. Should win easily, but a lot of things should happen, and don't. I actually think the Carbonite horse can get a piece.

that scratch changes the race...canonize should win easily, why? He is your typical Ellis type of horse, I am against him but the scratch probably killed any value.

I don't think he switched leads down the stretch.

Your statement is comical,even more so since Thorn Song won the Shoemaker.

That certainly was a fine performance and a new course record!

I wouldn't run her either. Gomez has screwed up 2 G1's in a row with her. In other words, he BLEW 2 ****in G1 races in a row with her. How the **** do you make up for something like that? This is akin to a bad (luck) streak gambling. When **** like this goes down I take a break to regroup.

Going back to the place of one of her perfect trips. Good idea. Is BEL guaranteeing an inside post?

Being that she is already stabled at Belmont the only surprising thing is that he even entered her at Hollywood.
