Oh wait, Trevor will be calling the race! Scrap that one.

And now lets see! Zennnyattta is still 12 lengths back at the 1/8th pole .. she'd really, really, really have to be a super horse to win from there!.. but, take a look, Zenyatta hooks to the grandstand side and is passing tiring horses that actually tried to win the race! This is un-be-leave-able! Zenyatta's 8th with 50 to go, can she inhale two more runners? Why yes! ZENYATTA, ZENYATTA's going to be 6th as she crosses the wire! Not sure about the exact order of the top five finishers - a photo should determine that.

Whats the bet right now that she runs 1-2-3 in the Classic?

You will feel better after the Metamucil kicks in ...

And she will NOT be short ...

I'm heartbroken she's not in the Distaff. A race where I could actually try to make a score by having her off of the board.

Just a month ago, you claimed it was much more likely that Z would run in the Distaff. You changed your mind?

After watching the Whitney, Haskell, and Jim Dandy ... yes.

Nothing has yet emerged to scare the connections into thinking they can't win it ... and she has a better chance of finishing in front of RA in the Classic than any other race.

Running in it now is there way of justifing how they've handled her all year long - and trust me, if they don't win - finishing in front of RA would be there big moral victory and cement their claim as the better horse.
