I think 20-0 and retiring as a 6 year old mare beating the best young boys in The Classic has been the goal for all of 2010.

It might have been the goal, but the "stats geeks" might like to see how often 3yos win in Grade 1s against older in the fall. For Zenyatta to beat Lucky or Blame won't prove that much to me. And as I have never been a QR fan that won't mean that much to me either, but I think he wins anyway.

Will be HUGE if she can beat G1 males which are two and three years younger.
