Still find it amazing … incredulous really … that, even after making the above statement in his latest article, Beyer is still gunna vote for a 3-year-old filly which never proved that she can win a G1 contest at the classic 10f distance for HotY.


Frankly, I think SB would've gotten to her in the Travers … and I doubt she'd have a prayer of holding off the monster western mare at ten panels … regardless of venue…

as opposed to zenyatta who didn't achieve the above either?

Wonder how much money AB and the other RA lickers would've been willing to risk on a RA win ticket if this year's BC was at CD instead of SA and RA, Z, SB, QR and some of the others were in that BCC field.


My guess … little to none…

RA might not win the race, but she would finish ahead of the Z mare.
