This line of thinking does give a "bridge jumper alert", especially in the show pool.

I'm inclined to agree with the Thursday caller to Steve's show that if Zenyatta doesn't win, she falls out of the money.

Of course she very well could win. I just don't see her finishing second or third if she has to contest a hot pace in the stretch.

I doubt they'll be bridgejumping on her.

I also don't agree with the notion that she won't hit the board if she doesn't win. With her running style and the distance, why can't she clunk up for third when nobody else is running?

If it weren't for the extreme hype and everything else, she'd be the type of horse you'd try to key underneath at a price.

Agree with both your points.
