![]() Anyone remember the good ole days when the Lady's Secret was a handicap?
In her first Lady's Secret try, Azeri gave 12lbs to a soon to be Multiple Grade 1 winner in Starrer and beat her by 3 with a 102 Beyer. In her 2nd Lady's Secret try, Azeri gave 10lbs to Got Koko ... a horse who previously swept the entire La Canada Series over the track. She finished a close 3rd to Got Koko and ran a 101. Now, Zenyatta will be carrying the same weight as Made For Magic ... a horse who ran for a 16K tag at Golden Gate six weeks ago. It's impressive how she ducks a wet track at Churchill, passes on the Hollywood Gold Cup while stablemate Life Is Sweet is served up, ducks the Pacific Classic, no Goodwood try at her best track, the handicap is lifted from the Clement Hirsch at Del Mar for the first time, the handicap is no more for the Lady's Secret. But hey, all she does is win races. |

![]() Malibu Prayer's 2nd at Delaware was to Careless Jewel .. her 2nd at Monmouth was to Just Jenda. Flashing's Test win may have been over a pure dogcrap field .. but, she's no pig. The competive defeat in a 400K Gr 3 was at the hands of Informed Decision .. the best synthetic sprinter in the land this year. The difference between RA and Zenyatta ... is that when RA has faced dogs, she absolutely layed the smack to them .. though, in the Mother Goose, MP and Flashing kind of laid the smack to each other as well. Here's the two who Zenyatta dominated in her nose win last time out... ![]() ![]() What makes them so much better than Malibu Prayer and Flashing? |

![]() I believe the Yellow Ribbon may be the best class of horses I've seen face each other in the US since (before?) the Derby.

![]() Interesting to see Kieran Fallon at Santa Anita with 3 mounts (none below 8 to 1).

![]() I think Zenyatta goes down to Life is Sweet today and if I was playing a horse in the Goodwood, it would be Chocolate Candy.
