For the record, you brought her up. You then posted she didn't run in either the Pacific Classic, Hollywood Gold Cup and Big Cap as to infer she never raced against males. So I mentioned the BC Classic to you, yes this never gets old...for you.

The topic is about Zenyatta. I found it interesting that even you acknowledge that she has avoided the most prestigious races in the area she has spent nearly her entire career. Races that she was eligible for and could have run in.

I never inferred she has never raced against males. I'm familiar with her racing record. I was commenting that this all time great has not run in any of those prestigious races. How many other all time greats can we say the same thing about?

I've had this discussion before, contrary to belief I have moved on. But if others want to beat this topic to a pulp, this is fine by me.

Translation: You're right. We both know I have no response, so I'll fake like I'm above the conversation. Hopefully some people buy it.

I really can't wait to see the reaction of our California contingent when the Breeders Cup is in Louisville and Zenyatta's running her 20th race somewhere in Southern California.

You know, I hate that the Breeders Cup has expanded as much as it has, but with synthetics in play, it's just not possible to fairly run the Breeders Cup at a single track. The synthetics horses need to be separated into their own divisions. Honestly.

Can you give me the other fillies besides RA and Zenyatta who have tried to run against older horses in the marquee races on dirt/syn of the past decade or so? Races like the Woodward, JCGC, SA Derby, Hol GC, PC, Clark, Foster, Pim Special, and BC Classic?

I came up with like two. Turf yes its done more often, especially the mile distance.

Island Fashion was 2nd in the Santa Antia Handicap the first time she ran in it.

Her poor races in the Pacific Classic and Big Cap came when she was off form later on in her career.
