In racing, no one was neglected by two horses running in the most appropriate race last weekend. Now, if we go back to Zenyatta, I think her owners did the sport a disservice by continually finding the easiest spot possible (most of the time) but at the end of the day hard to argue with the results.

I didnt get Bricks running in the Classic at all and didn’t think Midnight Bisou should have either.
Yeah Zenyatta took all those easy spots in those 13 Grade I Stakes she won. Which were the easy spots the 4 grade II wins. Ran twice in The Classic . Stop it.

Zenyatta skipped 2-3 renewals each of the Big Cap, Hollywood Gold Cup, and Pacific Classic. Never mind softer targets like the Californian or Oaklawn Handicap.

I know reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit (what exactly is your strong suit?) but I said most of the time. Kudos to them for running in the Classic twice. I think her results in those races proves she could and should have been competing with the boys more often....like Rachel did.
