Zenyatta Stakes reverting back to Lady's Secret this year

[slotdirt]

I can't remember what happened on Oaks day 2009. How did that track play? Were there any really nice horses running on that track? My memory is really deceiving me.

And gosh, I can't remember. Did Lion Heart ever win any GI races going a route of ground on a dry track? Again, memory is failing me horribly.

Yeah, getting the best of a monster like MSB on the MP speedway clearly proves that a horse is a legit router. lol


Loved when LH got exposed by that classic distance at Toga … just like RA did the other week…

You do remember that the 2004 Travers was run in a freaking monsoon, right?

Old article on BH.com said the heaviest stuff held off till just after the race … or well after LH folded like a cheap lawn chair on the turn…

I was there. It was run in a driving thunderstorm. It's obvious in the video.

Yes, but since it rained at a .01 inch per hour greater rate after the race, nothing else matters.

You forget whom you are dealing with.

I've just never heard anybody say that Lion Heart couldn't a run a route of ground, but then I remembered that we're talking about Smoothie King, who's watched 18 races in his life and thinks 3-5 are pretty juicy odds.
