There were 4verified synthetic runners, 5 dirt horses that were set up to run career worst races, and 3 Euros whose form was in question after a long grueling campaign. Zenyatta on the other hand was on her fav surface, in her back yard or and ran in 4 races previously, and they were incredibly the softest spots available to run in. Passing on the Beldame, Go For Wand, Personal Ensign, Woodward, Pacific Classic, and Goodwood, did nothing for the sport, a sport whose fans begged and pleaded to see her face boys in the Pacific and Goodwood. So those dirt horses all flopped (0-14 dirt horses won a race in the 08 and 09 breeders cup) is that a stat you forget or is that selective memory. The turf horses ran ok and the Euros looked like tired foes. Maybe had Sheriffs not said earlier in the year we wont run against boys because that’s asking too much of her and before the classic we’ll have to wait to see who shows up. Maybe if those words weren’t uttered it would be different, maybe if J.J. and his placing the filly in 3 super tough races didn’t force their hand to try to do something big and it was their outlined plan all year that would be different. But sorry folks 1 race doesn’t make a season, Zenyatta’s 2008 season was much stronger than the 2009 and that will again leave the connections as they are right now, begging and pleading for HOY votes. My advice to the Moss’s take a lesson from Jess Jackson and allows the horse to pick up the HOY votes all year long. Not just on 1 day. <br />Rachel Alexandra Horse of the Year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20800109.post-13683775876080067552009-11-13T07:29:53.548-06:002009-11-13T07:29:53.548-06:00"Not a strong Classic field"?
