This could have been avoided quite easily.

She probably still jogs but you never know in horse racing.

Are you seriously offering up her age as an excuse as to why she will lose?

You lose... you lose, it happens.

I know I dont walk and breath around horses like you do but you can take this as a fact and it aint no guess, she is not quite as good as last year. I suspect its the age, maybe its the feed, who the **** knows.

I still say she jogs if all she has to beat is what ran last weekend, I have seen little that has impressed me this season.

While she may not be as good as she was last year (who can tell?), being 6 as opposed to 5 or 7 shouldnt really matter. And i don't know what your version of jogged is but she is going to have to be a whole lot better than she was last weekend to win the Classic.

I really hope so.

I hope she either takes a huge step forward, runs a 120 BSF out of nowhere and beats the field by 8-10 lengths.....OR......runs the way she did on Saturday, (and most days) and finishes a well-beaten 5th.

The one thing I really hope does NOT happen is that the race goes like this:

1) A speed battle develops early wiping out the frontrunners.....
2) Blame and QR really end up just not wanting 10f.....
3) Lookin at Lucky is not 100% or finds some of the traffic that he has in the past.....


and so.....Zenyatta chugs up to win by a nose, running what should be a 95 BSF....and then gets hailed as the greatest athlete in the history of the universe.

I like this thought process.

This will give me nightmares in the weeks to come. And why are they called nightMARES?
