Hey genious, she is a 5 yo Mare. She's not gonna improve anymore. Unless switched to Wolfson of course.

actually, i think she's six now.

honestly tho--if i were the mosses, i wouldn't travel. keep her home and get the win streak record. not saying she'd lose travelling....but why mess with something when it's not broken? she hasn't shipped out of cali in a year, shipped and raced in two....
i have to wonder now how it's going to unfold. if jackson backs out, citing lack of readiness, zenyatta won't come anyway because the big purse goes away.

The all-time win streak is 56 races, the feat of the Puerto Rican star Camarero in the 1950s. The top-international-class-racehorse record belongs to the legendary unbeaten Hungarian mare Kincsem with 54. Any other 'record' is an artificial construct, made by limiting by time (21st Century?) or location (US and Canada? The Caribbean Islands are usually counted as part of North America.) I doubt that Zenyatta's people are going campaign her to reach either of these two records.

Those "records" are not relevant. Puerto Rican racing in the 50's and Hungarian racing in the 1870's have no relation to modern racing. It is like insisting that the All time, single season HR king is Joe Bauman for his 72 hr season in 1954 for the class C Roswell of the Longhorn league.

i'm talking about the record pepper's pride currently holds (sorry, miraja!) but you knew that. and yes, i think everyone is well aware of kincsem and her 54wins, irrelevant as it is.
