![]() ![]() ![]() 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. |

Nice. He held off a 33/1 shot in a short field who was routed in a Group 3 last out.

The real question I believe is, but can he really beat Dance to My Tune.

He's obviously a good horse. I just think he's a little better on turf than rubber. Same goes for Gio Ponti ... although there are probably 15 better turf horses than Gio Ponti in Europe and about 6 better ones in Japan and probably 3 or 4 better ones in South Africa.

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. |
