I didn't think she ran too bad in the BC F&M Turf considering she didn't like the surface. I would have hardly called her performance in that race hopeless.

really did she ever appear to be a threat to win...Rosie true talent run on anything and fire almost all the time. Let her continue to whoop up on the slop they have out west in the spring and summer save the ocassional Frankel Juddemonte.. She aint coming east of Turf Paradise.

She wasn't ever a threat to win in that race, but she wasn't a disgrace either. She has a lot of ability and she has only lost two races in her entire career. She always tries.

She'll come East to the big dance this fall if she stays healthy. That's the one that matters.

Oh wait, it'll be in Cali. I keep forgetting that for some reason...
They have to come get her...

Zenyetta will have to beat Nashobas Key, not the other way around.

NK let Citronade have things all her own way before engaging her and ultimately running past her. She ran decent in the BCFMT and had excuses with the ship and possibly soft ground. The last race she ran I thought she made a very good showing

Anytime quality horses are allowed to waltz out to splits of 24.80 50.03 114.27 they are supposed to keep going. NK just ran DAD down on a loose lead. Its hard to knock horses like her who run an "A" race everytime they are sent postward.

Why should it matter who shes beaten, who has beaten her? The following arent a bad bunch of mares. They are the only ones to cross the wire in front of this phony

Quite A Bride, whos a multiple graded stake winner and will retire a millionaire.

Lahudood, whos a millionaire, multiple graded stake winner, and champion turf mare.

Honey Rider who made nearly 3 million, and was a multiple graded stake winner

Passage of Time whos a G1 winner of nearly 600k while only making 8 starts.

Zenyetta has a long way to go before shes even mentioned in the same breath with an animal like this.

Freddy called her a phony - not me.

I just think she's overrated.

I had to listen to the TVG guys say that she would have been Horse of the Year last year if she had won the empty joke of a race that was the BC Filly and Mare Turf - and if Hard Spun had beaten Curlin.

I think being out West, they lose sight of the fact that Nashoba's Key was probably getting almost no Eastern votes for the HOY no matter what scenerio occured on BC Day.

Either way, Noshoba's Key has built up a gigantic reputation by beating very weak fields, running very moderate figures, and doing it with mostly decent trips.

The angle she has going for her is that she's a lightly raced Cal Bred .. and may continue to develop further.

she is a fraud and very overrated, everyone is correct, she has beat no one at all, the horses you guys are naming, with the exception of the one frankel filly are not even stakes horses, so why even mention grade 1,2,3 caliber ?
