HHHHHuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, I would be pretty amazing if she does.

9 pounds, and yes .

St.trinians can run and it looks like the race sets up for her to be the target at the quarter pole. She doesnt quit and has a good turn of foot.

I dont think she can catch her.

The Zanyatta camp is taking a risk running in this race.

Every race theoretically is a risk .

I have a healthy respect for the egg beater St. Trinians, however .

[jimmy the T]

135 lbs would give every one a better chance

[randallscott35]

Built in excuse....she'll run.

I hope Sky Beauty makes it in the Hall next year. Someone's gonna have to pitch me why Smarty Jones should, esp. if they wanna argue it before her. She showed everybody how it's done there.

Those trips across the Alleghenies ruined her reputation.

The hall of fame is really going to become a joke. Horses are going to be elected on reputation rather than accomplishment. There are already too many jockeys in there. Seriously every rider that was in the top 5 for 10 years or more in NY or CA the last 30 years is in. What kind of club is it if everyone gets in? There was some deserved hand wringing about Point given being elected. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Personally I dont think Best Pal should have been put in. He just was never that good. I obviously didnt see a whole lot of the horses from the 60's and before but there isnt one horse that I saw that I wouldnt have taken over Best Pal. Of course now his accomplishment look better when you compare them to the current older horses which each year seem to be a little more disgraceful. It is Like Jaime Moyer being elected to the baseball HoF. Point Given is like Albert Belle.

Defeating those horses while carrying 130lbs was a real achievement.. I've always thought of it as the top moment in her career.. It's a shame the BC wasnt at Belmont in 94.. it would have been a heck of a race between her and Heavenly Prize..

[CSC]

9 lbs to St. Trinians...I have a healthy respect for whomever Mitchell is throwing out there at the moment. As much as the Rachelites will try to make of it, if St. Trinians runs her A race, this is a bigger test than what Rachel has faced this year. 2010

Spinning already.

Close call but I couldn't be so sure. Unrivaled Belle is an improving filly and never got the credit she deserved in defeating RA.

Just my point. They have been so selective to the spots and now that they clearly are going to hope that they go undefeated to the Breeders Cup and try to win the Classic, beating the boys 2 years in a row to cement her greatness forever.( In time we will die and on paper it will look to impressive to question.)

[Indian Charlie]

I'd be amazed if she runs

[hurricanefrank]

8-5 that Team Zenyatta says no thanks to this spot.
