Zenyatta ran her half mile in 49.70 and her six furlongs in 1:13.50

Facepalm.

My pace figures have her running much faster early on in the BC Classic than any race she's run in over the last two years. The Moss pace figures had her running faster early than any race she had run in over the last two years.

Did Ketucky Roses In May steal your login again? Saying "it's actually one of the slowest she's run early in the race" is a weapons grade stupid comment. Show me your pace figures .. point me to races in the last two years where she ran faster on them.
