Weakening of faith? zenyatta is still undefeated, you know. Surely, as the greatest distaffer in North America in the last 30 years, she has nothing to fear from the Super Derby runner-up.

Agreed. I'm no Zenyatta nuthugger, but until she loses, how can anyone say another horse is the one to beat?

because blame is a better horse based on recent form? he's faced and defeated much better than she has this year.

Is he undefeated with a previous BCC win to his credit?

so because she won that race a year ago, she's the one to beat this year? we're to ignore everything that's happened since, because of that? i disagree.

Since? Hmm... Tell me what Z has done wrong since? She showed up to face Rachel. Where was Rachel? She has won every race since, thats all...

Are you two joking?


B is a 4yo male … Z a 6yo female.

B already owns a couple big scores at CD … Z hasn't raced there yet.

B showed a lot of grit while taking down top-ranked QR in the biggest open contest so far this year.


He's clearly the early fav for the BCC at this point...

so...that negates what blame has done? she's not the only horse pointing to that race, is she? and what has rachel got to do with it? nothing. blame has won all year, vs horses such as quality road. who has zenyatta faced this year that is comparable to those two?
