Wow. 7 other horses want take on Zenyatta and Life is Sweet in a $150K G2 race -- all these other horses should be huge prices and would probably pay bridgejumper show prices in the very unlikely event that the top 2 finish out of the money.

Interesting that Gomez flies all the way to California to retain the mount on Life is Sweet when taking on Zenyatta in a $150K race. That is a nice endorsement for the quality and chances of Life is Sweet.

He has stakes mounts all weekend including Ventura on Monday in the Shoemaker Mile.

Canonize is an up-and-comer to look out for in the Laz Barrera.

The 4 & 8 scratched. So at most 5 other horses will line up vs the top 2.

I meant it legit wise, he did a good job, everything he can....on a nice syn filly, and got beat by a hand ride.

Scary thing is he didn't even hand ride her, he hardly got her out of a gallop- just shook the reins at her once.

There's "push-button", and then there's Zenyatta. SHAM-WOW. That was effortless and phenomenal. I've got her running the final 2.5F in 29 3/5 while 5 wide. It's almost impossible to beat a horse as good as that.

She took my breath away with that move....
Life is Sweet is no slouch either and she ran by her with ease and seemingly under wraps...

Now if only they would put her in the Gold Cup.....

She'd be 1/9 in there too.

I'm not a big fan of horses that race in SoCal,but Zenyatta was IMPRESSIVE! Rachael Alexandra should be scared,because this horse will bring it to her good.

Chop about four seconds off that.

[Danzig]

cakewalk for zenyatta today. ten for ten....maybe they can keep her in training, and in the winners circle, so she can take the consecutive wins record down from pepper's pride.
