I want her to go in the Distaff, to fill in the second half of the exacta

This is the DUMBEST **** I HAVE EVER READ ON HERE. Music Note is CLEARLY THE HORSE TO BEAT. Zenyatta ducking Careless Jewel is so far from the truth, shes going to be the morning line favorite in the Classic, and has a huge chance to win.

Suddenly I feel like Music Note has no shot and Careless Jewel is the lock of the entire BC.

I should probably look over the pps though.

I have been looking at them for 2 days now, Music Note is in career form, her 3rd place run last year was better then even the connections expected and they are expecting a much better run this year.

Can you promise that your next handle will be SaeedBinSuroor1985?

Everyone looks at how easy Zenyatta runs and thinks there's more....

That's what they said about Bernardini, and he got run down in the Classic. Sometimes there isn't more and they are already running as fast as they could.

That's especially true when a horse's ears come forward. Sure sign of a horse giving all it has.

Add 2 or 3 lengths to Life Is Sweet in the Hollywood Gold Cup. That's about as good as Zenyatta is. There are a couple who will be better than that in the Classic.

Default Scav Notes

1) Zenyatta has no shot in the Classic, and if she goes in the Distaff, I'd expect her to get beat

2) I think I might be using Cocoa Beach, I know this is going to rile up the DT members but I just think she is going to run a big race, gut feeling

3) I fully expect Ventura to romp again

4) I think Connie and Michael will be a wise guy horse and shouldn't be touched

5) While I don't really like how Forever Together is coming into the race, I think she will like getting back to a real firm turf

6) California Flag has zero shot, really really focused on Lord Shanakill within the race

7) Zensational: No, Fatel Bullet: No

8) Think Colonel John is going to run a huge race, but not sure if it is enough
