Unfortunately, she's in the hands of someone that will have her broken down before the 1st Saturday in May... we will see. Be lucky if she makes the Oaks.

That's the way the game works. The strong survive, the rest don't.

Wow that was fast.
At least she looked solid doing it.

Thank God you weren't a golfing buddy of Tim Smith.

And, frankly, thank God racing is a lot more subtle than that.

No record is legit on that track right now. Personally, I was underwhelmed by her performance. Gomez had to all but drag her across the wire that final furlong.

This is apples and oranges of course but the filly from that card that we should be talking about is Zenyatta. There is a potential monster.

Kidding aside, for only a minute ( I promise ), why is Zenyatta more worthy of conversation than Indian Blessing? I mean, don't get me wrong, Zenyatta was a thing of beauty yesterday, but Indian Blessing is an undefeated winner of the BC Juvenile Fillies who, unlike Zenyatta, has also taken her game on the road ( winning on four different racetracks ) and, more importantly, has won on two different surfaces.

Zenyatta is exciting....but so is Indian Blessing....and the latter has accomplished far more.

Fair enough. They are both obviously worthy of discussion and Indian Blessing of course is the much more accomplished horse. Perhaps it is because Zenyatta was much more visually impressive yesterday that I brought her up. Both have very bright futures.
