Yes St. Trinians was the favorite in the SA Handicap. But she finished 6th!

Never let a fact get in the way of a good arguement!

Really though, St. Trinians is most likely the 2nd best female horse on the west coast. Maybe blind luck or her.. Its not an insult to say you beat St Trinians while giving 9 pounds (though Zen should be racing against males) She looked like a winner in the stretch and Zen ran her down in a thrilling fasion. St. Trinians' leg is scary though.. i thought she was going to start flying like a helicopter with that propeller.

About westcoasts Zardana statement though... Zardana isnt the same on poly as she is on dirt.. and to bring up the march 2010 race is just dumb considering it was off a 7 month layoff. Rachel beat Zardana by the same amount or more than Zen did two races back, didnt she? What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. (just proving that the Zardana argument is stupid)

St. Trinians ran the best race of her career and she had already ran some good ones since arriving in NA, I don't know how she can run better coming out of the Vanity, 99/100 that was a winning race and she would be a gr.1 winner today if not...

I like the latest comments from the most recent blog post for Zenyatta's cheerleader in chief, Jay Hovdey, on drf.com:

"I'm not going to go chasing Horse of the Year," Shirreffs told me. "Just being Zenyatta should be enough."

Hovdey was standing there in the winners circle. No surprise.

I don't even know why he feigns objectivity anymore. The guy is a shill.

That's like saying if Jack Nicholson appeared in Policy Academy 196, he should get an Oscar because he's Jack Nicholson.

Anyone still think she's coming to churchill? That doesn't make it look likely. She'll run a couple more restricted races to try and get 20-0 and depart the scene. What a shame.

Actually I think what it means is what they have always said - the goal is the BCC and that they will run and train with that as the end game.
