I think Icon Project would have beat both of them... I have been saying that since last year.
Where have I changed my opinion once? You CANT TAKE BEING WRONG, you always have to be right about everything.
I don't remember you going apeshit over Zenyatta beating those shopping carts at Oaklawn before, now she deserves a statue for shipping out of her backyard twice in three years?

Truthfully I'm sick to death of arguing about which '10 campaign has been less lame, and there's no argument about whose campaign was better last year. So what do you want me to say?

While both are lame beyond belief - Clearly Rachel's has been lamer ... but only because Shireffs cranked one up and caught her short 1st off the long layoff and that defeat bigtime deflated the grape sack of her brilliant owner.

Lets check in on Zenyatta's first Grade 1 win of 2010. That was the race where she recieved a phony 102 Beyer in victory because they were embarrassed to give Zenyatta a figure in the 90's and didn't want to be accused of having a bias against her. This is what she beat that day.

Gripsholm Castle ran 6th at 4/1 in an alw race at Del Mar yesterday that isn't shown on her pps above.

What's it say about So. Cal older females when Made For Magic wins a Grade 2 and than ships to Churchill and gets beat 20+ lengths to RA?

I see that nice Euro male (Twice Over) which Z toyed with last fall just took down another 10f G1 earlier this month in GB.

Horse clearly knows how to win over a real distance of ground.

Seems to be having another fine year over there…

Twice Over really showed a love for synthetics by struggling to corner in the BC Classic and doing nothing in the Dubai World Cup which was won by that really old Brazilian horse ... with Gio Ponti off the board.

But yeah, without a doubt, Twice Over is the best horse Zenyatta has ever beaten.

Rachel Alexandra (2nd off the layoff) and Unrivaled Belle both beat Zardana by double digits on dirt the next time they met.

But hey, you still think Easy Goer was a lousy horse because he lost his debut race.
