Default Classic Sheet Numbers

Does anyone know what they were for Zenyatta and Blame?

Jerry Brown should have final Thoro-Graph numbers for the Cup sometime today.. At a glance, it looks like the winners ran neg. 2's with the 3yo's running 0's. Anything above a -1.2 for Zenyatta would be a career top, which would be yet another astounding compliment to Shirreffs.

Time to retire her I guess.

Wait and see about the retirement. Shirreffs feels she's 100% retired, but the Mosses are so attached to her, it will not surprise if they go around again. As has been said well by several, with the ridiculous streak portion of the equation over, there's no reason not to really showcase her. I wouldn't have thought this discussion was possible until Moss opened the door last week with the 'not necessarily retiring' comment on draw day.

People I work with who could not possibly care less about racing wouldn't stop talking about how exciting the Classic was. "Oh my God, that was awesome. She totally should have won" was all I heard all day yesterday. I think announcing that she'll return to the track in 2011 not only has a chance to really give racing a boost, it might also give her a snowball's chance at HOY.

As much as I'd like to see her back for another year- why leave when you just ran your best- i honestly could do without another year of soft 5 filly fields in California and all of the endless debate regarding her place in history.

Yes, and if she comes back with any type of ambitious schedule of dirt races, those people will see that she " totally shouldn't have won. "
