Hmmm.

I think we should avoid the pissing contest for a few hours and enjoy this awesome performance. Breeders' Cup / horse racing is an event of opinion, and we all have one, but I would say we all have the opinion the Classic today was one of the most exciting ever.

Well said, regardless if one prefers poly, dirt, turf races. I thought this was one of the better BC's from a betting perspective and Zenyatta just capped it off with a performance that will be remembered in BC lore.

This was a Great Breeders cup.I just hope Zenyatta stays in training.

No pissing contest at all. Tom had a good call with Gio Ponti. I posted that Z was the likeliest winner but an underlay and that's exactly what she did....I have to say I still think Rachel should get it but I'm happy Zenyatta won.

She obviously does what she needs to do, and not much more. She had a whole lot left to do at the top of that stretch, but she inhaled them.

The Mosses hinted a month or so ago that she might. The Dubai World Cup on synthetic could be tempting before retiring her to be bred. She now has about $5.5 million in lifetime earnings -- if she won the Dubai World Cup, she would have to be close to Curlin for the record.

They should keep her in training another year.... Now there is truly TRULY NOTHING TO LOSE. They could have an east coast campaign, a Dubai World Cup, all dirt, all vs the boys. It could be special

DWC isn't on dirt.

They have very little to gain from running her again.
