With Music Note, Carriage Trail, and Cocoa Beach in there, I get the feeling at least one of them will come up with their best race ever.

Would Zenyatta have smoked Eight Belles? My opinion is it would have been very close.

She's run well on 2 different synthetic surfaces and should get plenty of pace to run at. What am i missing? Are you sure you are thinking of the right horse?
Yeah, that's the horse all right. Her loss to Diamond Diva was one of those all time great pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory you'll ever see.

I think she's overrated, but does manage to make noise every race. I think there are some fillies in here that are much better than what she's faced sprinting before, so I just don't see her winning.

I will preface all that though and say I'm terrible with synthetic form. Also, watching synthetic races, I feel like I still cannot get a handle on what I'm seeing.

Dude, you make pg1985 sound like the love child of DrugS and Julie Krone.

I'm not even sure what I mean by that, but man.

Nowadays more crappy horses get undeserved accolades. She deserves any accolades she gets and more IMO. She's something special. I can see trying to beat a favorite, I get it. But even if one of the 3 horses you mention do throw a lifetime best, I don't think it'll be enough.
No doubt Zenyatta has a GREAT record in 2008. Do you think if Curlin gets beat, then Zenyatta wins HOY?

The only unknown in the race is if Music Note moves up on this track, if she does she might make a race of it.

For somebody who calls himself God, I guess I can't argue against that. Whatever you say.

What a pathetic person you are. When you lose somebody you love to cancer (in my case pancreatic which is about the worst), and watch them deteriorate,there is nothing remotely funny about that.
