Is anyone else like me and wants to see Zenyatta lose because her owners are taking the conservative route and keeping her in with what they know she can dominate rather than taking a chance and sending her to face the boys? How boring it is watching her prove over and over what we already know.......that she's the dominant filly. It would have been much more fun for me as a fan to see her try the Hollywood Gold Cup. I would have liked her chances with Heatseeker in there. I would have loved them with him out. But instead we get to see a steady diet of what's basically the NY Yankees vs. Lincoln High School. Boring.

She has had 5 races, I can see it later in the year but she has trouble still breaking out of the gate. Sealy Hill is not impossible to beat her today if she out trips her.

Who's running with Raw Silk early? I think she's got a good shot to wire 'em.

does it matter? Raw Silks last was a dressed up slow early fast late win, she just will get attacked earlier today and fold up, and she seems to be a wiseguy horse a bit and will take some money.

That's the question I asked. You say she's going to get attacked, but I want to know who's got the speed to run with her early.

I think alot of riders in her last race felt like they would wait and catch her in her last, with 750k on the line they are going to move going into the turn.
