How does the rest of the field stack up to Anabaa's Creation?

Is there any true frontrunner in there?

Not as much as her two previous starts over the Pro-Ride.

Del Mar's poly - this past summer - was a lot less kind to wide deep closers than SA's pro-ride is.

It's hard to say who the speed is ... there are some very cheap horses coming out of claiming races and sprint races.

Anabaa's Creation - while still elidigble for N3X Alw races - would certainly be good enough to run 2nd or 3rd against these.

Yeah, I intentionally ignored that piece of information to make believe the race was even remotely interesting.

Back to your winning margin thing, is Zenyatta the type of horse that will run away from a field?

I guess it mostly depends on when Mike Smith pushes the button.

I'm just setting an over/under as I would if Vegas made me a linemaker.

Interesting race to factor in "do we have to adhere to the original script?"

I've often considered myself adept at handicapping any possible "fix." Years of living in Chicago will lead to that handicap angle consideration. And other places, of course.

Of course this is not an apparent money making race for wagering.

I want Zenyatta to win, but I won't be tremendously surprised if racing luck gives us another winner..... with Zenyatta hitting the board in a "tough luck" race.
