The worst part is that I don't think Flores retained the mount on El Gato Malo when he won his next start after the SA Derby in the Lone Star Derby.

Nope he didn't, Bejarano rode him at LS.

I'm sure Flores has to feel really good about that.

The amusing thing about the Nashoba's Key VS Zenyatta match-up that wasn't - was that I was all prepared to root for Zenyatta like a loud rowdy 9-year-old girl would. I would have pulled for her with every fiber of my being. I loved Shirreffs as a trainer, my E-mail and some passwords are old horses he trained about ten years ago - I really liked her first three wins and most of all Nashoba's Key's fans annoyed the living hell out of me and Zenyatta didn't have a single annoying fan yet that I witnessed.

Those two would have taken turns beating each other. Zenyatta would have probably taken a few more even though stylistically NK would have been a match-up problem and seemed to like Del Mar better than Z.

Just the gridlock it could have caused dividing those fans would have been wonderful.

It's ironic because The Mig was second on Cerin's horse named Leonides. He rode a great race.

Nobody says "Zenyatta isn't that good and is ridiculously overrated" quite as skillfully (and indirectly) as DrugS.
