Delaware should throw in extra $500k for RA & Zenyatta

I think Ginger Punch is a total bum.

However, she was 40 cents on a dollar in that race against Zenyatta .. and she was beaten 3.5 lengths to Brownie Points. It was not her usual race... and no one would argue that Zenyatta fractured GP in that race - they have different styles and GP was beat before Zenyatta got going

Ginger Punch won some Grade 1s where Brownie Points could easily have beaten her.

Well - the highest Beyer Brownie Points ever ran in dirt victory is a 93.

She beat Plaid by a half length length - and Plaid had a tougher trip and carried 5lbs more - Plaid was 4th beaten 10 at 17/1 behind Ginger Punch in a Grade 1 handicap next out.

I agree that Ginger Punch was a complete joke and massively overrated - but that doesn't mean you have to pretend that Brownie Points is good.
