In her 2nd Lady's Secret try, Azeri gave 10lbs to Got Koko ... a horse who previously swept the entire La Canada Series over the track. She finished a close 3rd to Got Koko and ran a 101.
Now, Zenyatta will be carrying the same weight as Made For Magic ... a horse who ran for a 16K tag at Golden Gate six weeks ago.
It's impressive how she ducks a wet track at Churchill, passes on the Hollywood Gold Cup while stablemate Life Is Sweet is served up, ducks the Pacific Classic, no Goodwood try at her best track, the handicap is lifted from the Clement Hirsch at Del Mar for the first time, the handicap is no more for the Lady's Secret. But hey, all she does is win races.

I guess Malibu Prayer and Flashing just couldn't make the trip out west, so they could really test her.
