I'd be saddened if Zenyatta won HOTY. In the future, if there is another super filly or mare, they will look at Zenyatta's campaigns and think they could get HOTY by hiding 90% of the year and then showing up for one big race. Or maybe that is just the Mosses.

However light Quality Road's campaign may look, his races are open to any horse good enough, and that should be worth more than a race like the Vanity any day.

I'm trying to figure out what's gonna go down with Older Female. Even if RA or Zenyatta both miss out on HOY, it's gonna potentially hit the fan in their own division.

Can we just take a second to discuss what the heck is up with Mine That Bird? It's like he's been eating his Wheaties all winter & spring. Haskin said he doesn't look like the same horse, and I was struck by his appearance along with those bullets he's throwing. I've always thought he was a nice little Rodney Dangerfield kinda horse that deserved more respect than he got post-KD. Who knows what he's gonna do this weekend. You'd think Quality Road has the momentum, but our two ladies are more than capable of looking the part of an HOY as they showed last year.

Own division? Z is 3/3 this year, I think 2 G1's.
Rachel is 1/3, losing to 2 horses who both came back to get beat. Right now Z is way way way ahead as far as Older Filly N Mare championship.
