It would be the ultimate revenge if War Echo did upset Zenyatta.

Not saying it's possible, but if the unforeseen did happen, it would be ironic.

Yep.

Reminds me of last week's Fantasy Stakes.

I have a better idea, the utlimate revenge for Rachel would be for her to do it herself, not Zardana or War Echo. Ect...

I was amused by the way the DRF has framed Zenyatta's win streak "at an elite level" in order to exclude the New Mexico horse from the likes of Citation and Cigar:

On Friday, she can match the feat of 16 straight wins at an elite level that has characterized the careers of Citation, Cigar, and Mister Frisky.

Calling it a "feat" instead of a "record" is clever, too.

Didn't Mister Frisky rack up most of those wins in Puerto Rico?

I had the same impression.

I guess El Commandante racetrack is a candidate for permanent venue for the Breeder's Cup.

That's what I'd heard. She was going to Oaklawn with or without Rachel.

The announcer for the Apple Blossom put a new twist on it. He said Zenyatta had equaled the record of 16 straight wins of horses running in unrestricted races, joining Cigar and Citation. Adios Mr. Frisky.

Cigar ran in restricted races and so did Citation in that streak if you want to talk technical.

He never ran in a non winners race in that streak or a non winners of a race since a certain date? I could be wrong but I thought the first race was a conditioned alw race.

The first and third races in his streak were conditioned. He won a N2X right before the NYRA Mile then won a N4X before rattling off 13 consecutive stakes wins, all in open and unrestricted company.
