Default Zenyatta assigned 129 pounds for Vanity

Now the great race mare Zenyatta will carry 129 in a short field and do you think that if Smith gives St. Trinian's a 8 to 10 lenght lead at the 1/4 pole with a 10 pound weight differance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,can she catch her?

HHHHHuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, I would be pretty amazing if she does.

St.trinians can run and it looks like the race sets up for her to be the target at the quarter pole. She doesnt quit and has a good turn of foot.

I dont think she can catch her.

The Zanyatta camp is taking a risk running in this race.

Every race theoretically is a risk .

I have a healthy respect for the egg beater St. Trinians, however .

I hope Sky Beauty makes it in the Hall next year. Someone's gonna have to pitch me why Smarty Jones should, esp. if they wanna argue it before her. She showed everybody how it's done there.

Defeating those horses while carrying 130lbs was a real achievement.. I've always thought of it as the top moment in her career.. It's a shame the BC wasnt at Belmont in 94.. it would have been a heck of a race between her and Heavenly Prize..

Just my point. They have been so selective to the spots and now that they clearly are going to hope that they go undefeated to the Breeders Cup and try to win the Classic, beating the boys 2 years in a row to cement her greatness forever.( In time we will die and on paper it will look to impressive to question.)
