My point is that Summer Bird (or any proven dirt runner) could be a successful synthetic runner if he was given more opportunities. Zenyatta runs her races in her locale which happens to be synthetic.If she was given more opportunities she could as she did in her only attempt be as good or better on dirt. |

![]() No one can say Zenyatta can beat RA on dirt because the match up will never happen!!!!!
How quickly people forget RA's accomplishments People only remember the last thing to happen. I am not saying Zenyatta wouldn't be a worthy HOY, but it's a bit presumptuous to assume Zenyatta would thump RA on dirt based off one dirt race. |

![]() Regardless of all the HoY bs I think it has been understated just how good of a ride Mike Smith gave her yesterday. That was flawless. Mike has been knocked a lot over the last few years and in some cases deservedly so, but that was one of the all-time money rides.

NO way could RA lay back and win No matter what the pace is and Zenyatta has done just that. 14 times she went to post any did just what it took to win, if they went 5 lenghts faster she would of won. Zenyatta got 1 to 3 pounds where RA got 5 and just hung on to win. Zenyatta closed the final 1/4 in 22 and change to overhaul this years Classic field and they were not backing up. I would of liked to have seen her run at Churchill Downs, but it rained and her owners didn't want to take the chance. Jess Jackson stayed at home and played it safe, even though RA has shown she will run on synthetics. Jerry Moss said today that Zenyatta was done racing after what was her biggest highlight and when asked if he thought she should be horse of the year he said "She is his horse of the year and thats all that counts to him and his wife." Pure Class! |

![]() I think the debate is great for our sport. At least we are in the headlines for something very positive.
