Blame is not much horse, but Zenyatta's a champion. You can't make it up.

Blame... Defeats a horse who comes out of the race with a career ending injury.... Thats clearly his second biggest win. Beats QR by a nose, running the same speed figure. Then gets destroyed by a decent NY bred.

Zenyatta..Undefeated multiple BC winning champion.
Whats being made up?

Blame's beaten better horses. But you knew that already.

The 2 best horses Blame has defeated are QR and Battle Plan, I like both of them. One of them is now in Japan? The other is everyones toss for the BC. DOes not say much, right?

Blame also beat Haynesfield. Who is light years ahead of anyone Zenyatta's beaten this year. Just deal with it. In her whole career, she has one serious win, and it came on a surface that basically no one other than her was guaranteed to handle.

What exactly do I have to deal with? Im not one of the crazy Z lovers and Rachel haters, I just always stood by Z being a bit better. So what am I getting over?

If there's a BET AGAINST in the Classic, it's Blame. He can get a piece but a lot has to go right for him to win.

Blame feels like an underlay to me too. . . They all do except for Lookin At Lucky, who I could not have been more against throughout his career until he won the Haskell.

I totally agree. My entire weekend is going to be pick 3 and 4's and Blame wont be covered on a single ticket, not even for the 50 cent minimum.

A must use in what sense? He is most likely winner, or you have to cover? I dont think he is a must use at all. I think he is in between his Whitney and JCGC. Not as good, not as bad.... BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN THIS.
