dunbar, i agree. the classic is a good betting event. anyone that handicaps knows that zenyattas going to be overbet. thats the great thing about the BC. the pools are huge and bloated with money of people that bet with their heart. sure , i'd like to see it, but, i would not bet her as a fave in a race like this. shes had "walk overs" all season now she going to beat horses like these, not holding my breath on that one. its like she has to win to vindicate her schedule, good luck!

Exactly. She may be competetive with these horses, but she does not deserve to be favored over them. Rip Van Winkle should be favored, and after that it would be hard (for me) to distinguish among Col John, Summer Bird, Einstein, Richard's Kid, Quality Road, Twice Over, and Zenyatta.

I think it's a very good bet-against opportunity.
