She has to run a bit faster to be in Azeri's class, and beat better horses. So far all she has beaten is Ginger Punch who is only ok.

yeah but she did that pretty convincingly. she made Ginger Punch look like a claimer. I do agree that she has to move forward to be in a class like Azeri, but she has moved forward every race so far I believe.

She's very good for sure. Even though I'd said months ago that she's better than NK - which will never be proven conclusively now - I really thought she'd be a lot better on natural dirt.

Another guy I passed on in the 6th round who could have scored me a few points.

Look at it this way, you're such a nerd that the only way you can even attempt to be cool, a futile attempt I may add, is to abbreviate horses' names.

Ginger Punch is just a step above a claimer, she is not that fast and really a very lucky winner of the distaff.

She is one horse I would make an effort to see in person. If I still lived on the west coast I would make the effort to get to the track.

really? thats funny.

okay, forget about Ginger Punch then if you feel she got lucky and is barely above a claimer, but please tell me which of the unlucky speedy also rans from the distaff would give Zenyatta a lot of trouble.

Hystericalady probably should have won the Distaff but Ginger Punch is about as far from a claimer as you can get.

Didn't Ginger Punch just win a graded race on Oaks day last month?

yeah, the Louisville... 4 clear of Leah's Secret and 6 lengths in front of Lear's Princess. I was at Oaklawn for her "flop" in the Apple Blossom; that rail was dead as hell all weekend and Ramon put her right on it...

Hysterical Lady was lucky that the track was a mess, otherwise she finishes worse off than she did.

On what basis are you possibly coming up with that? The mess of a track just as likely hurt her as it helped her. She'd run some big races when she was on fast dirt tracks.

There's really no evidence for your claim.

If she wins I think I have to get a duffel bag for the score... DrugS was touted her and she is a super nice filly/mare.. I think the world of her
