Zenyatta likely to the Vanity

[NTamm1215]

From Brad Free's article today:

"John Shirreffs did not confirm Zenyatta for the Vanity, but he and owners Jerry and Ann Moss may be leaning that way.

"We'll see what the weights are for the Vanity and go from there," Shirreffs said. "This is a place we like to run - we have to play at home some of the time."

Zenyatta, who has been based at Hollywood throughout her career, looks magnificent physically. When she returned to training last week after winning the Apple Blossom on April 9 at Oaklawn, the 6-year-old was dappled and full of energy. Zenyatta would be seeking her 17th consecutive victory in the Vanity, a race she won the last two years. A Zenyatta bobble-head giveaway is scheduled for Vanity day, June 13."

In the context of the article the statement is correct. I doubt he intended to imply Zenyatta was a world traveller of any sort or pretending that her recent trip to Oaklawn was proof of her adaptability to a variety of different race tracks.

To him, and at least to Zenyatta, Hollywood Park is home.

There needs to be a bulletin sent out--we have a dapple-sighting!

Who else is looking at the Vanity?

Names won't matter.

It will be more of the same soft serve as usual.

If she's going to play at home all year,

then I hope Quality Road goes undefeated and wins Horse of the Year.

I'll bet you're a Giant fan, or should I say a Dodger hater.

They could at least run her against males if they're going to keep her in Cali for the next start.

I think they're more concerned with winning 17 consecutive races and scratching track management's back by running on the same day as the Zenyatta bobble-head giveaway (which makes this "possible next start" a near certainty).

Let's see if track management scratches Zenyatta's back in return. My guess is, the one of the bobble-heads will weigh more than Zenyatta's saddle...

I think you're right.
