Seem to me that at some point weight makes a differance and when Zenyatta is dragging 129 today with a mare like St. Trinians getting first run on a closer and has a brillant turn of foot, I think Z gets beat today.

The only way I can see Zenyatta losing today is if Mike leaves her too much to do at the 1/4 pole, if St. Trinians or Zardana are within striking range she will run them down. I agree about St. Trinians getting first run and it will be interesting if she can maintain her run without expending too much energy to hold off the inevitable run by Zenyatta, the way Mitchell horses are running at this meet it does make this an interesting race to watch.

One of the things makes Zenyatta so special is that been able to overcome the pace not being in her favor.

A closer needs to have the pace back up in the lane to added their finish and I dont see St. Trinians slowing down in the last 1/16 .

I want Z to win and set up big BC show down in the Classic.

she dragged the same weight a year ago, she's just as good now as then. i'm not sure she gets beat today. but that's why they run them.
