Well it's two-fold. Zardana sucks on the synthetics....but she doesn't suck THAT bad. Today's results make it clear to me that she's better on dirt, so we can't compare them like apples an oranges.

On the flipside, if there was anything but plugs in that Santa Margarita, she would've been in for a hell of a race. Luckily for her, nobody was doing any running at all while she was getting into her trouble.

The 50-1 plug that she had to catch before the trouble was still the only horse she had to catch once she got out of it. She's fortunate that there was nothing in that race, but she ran huge and overcame everything asked of her.

I think she was awfully impressive today on one hand, and awfully lucky on the other that she was the only Grade I mare in an otherwise lackluster Grade III field that allowed her to get away with that.
