That field is an embarrassment to the sport.

2 career stakes wins for the entire field other than Zenyatta? Did I count that right? No wonder they "adjusted" her training schedule so they could fit this one in.

It's even worse than the Santa Margarita. At least she had to give 16lbs to Dance to My Tune in that race.

I say this only half facetiously, but I'm pretty sure Peppers Pride could handle this group with ease.

weight for age? Was this ever a handicap? Z giving 2-4 pounds to these dogs is embarrassing.

Not embarrassing enough for ANYBODY with a filly/mare that can outrun a POODLE on POLY to ship out there and take all the money. Guess the winner's share of $300k is just not enough to get all those with qualifying horses to ship out there. I mean, clearly, Z ain't much and she's getting free rides.

I realize there are a lot of idiots in this industry but surely SOMEONE has a horse that can take that easy $180k home. What's stopping them? I know if I had a filly/mare, I'd ship her out there for some of what St. Trinians got ( i.e, a long vacation).

I get your point, but I'm surprised no one wants an easy $60k for 2nd and the grade 1 placing. Heck Zito made Andromeda's Hero(among others) a millionaire doing it in the East.

That's what I was thinking..5 years from now a yearling gets the tag "out of Grade 1 placed mare who ran second to Zenyatta"

That's why they should have run the San Diego Chargers cheerleaders against her instead.

Not as easy as you make it sound. Sure the competition sucks, but that trip over the Rockies is really tough.

Don't forget how scary the dmr surface has been to Z this meet too.

Consider it a miracle if she manages to get her footing over that track.
