Hypothetical question
I was bored and looking through Azeri's lifetime PPs last night. Which grade I or grade II races for older males would a very good, not necessarily all-time great, mare like Azeri have won this year? I'll start the list:
2008 Suburban |

Wouldn't it be quicker to name the ones she wouldn't have won this year?

better question...which ones would holy Bull have won?
|
he surely could have won the woodward and Gold Cup. probably the Met mile too.
Pretty good considering he is like 22 years old |

He'd probably have won about half of them at his current age. Seriously. |
Hollywood Turf Cup.

Don't know how she would handle a synthetic course but on dirt, it's hard to see any race that was run this year and think that given her running style and ability, she couldn't have won.

She would have been run into the ground in the Met Mile or Woodward. She would have had a hard time in the slop in the JCGC and the Dubai World Cup would have been a disaster.

Wow.....Dalakahni will be pissed at you Vic. I guess he/she/it wont be rooting for Rosario. I am sure Joel will be crushed. |
I just want to point out for the 27th time that Azeri never lost a two-turn race when she was sent to the early lead.
And she didn't need things her own way either, as evidenced by the 2002 BC Distaff when she went the opening 3/4 in 1:09 and change and ran Imperial Gesture and Jerry Bailey into submission, costing that one 2nd place. Of course, after Azeri spanked Bailey again in the Apple Blossom AND Gor For Wand in 2004, Bailey made sure to get the last laugh at Saratoga when he absolutely destroyed his own mount's chances in the 1 1/4 mile Personal Ensign by sending her to the lead and running the opening 3/4 in 1:09 so that Azeri would not win. Bailey's mount finished butt-naked last, and Azeri got passed late and ran 2nd. Ok, I'm done. Back to my hole. |
nobody was going to beat Commentator in the Whitney this year... not even Azeri :D

Didn't Sightseek beat Azeri in the Ogden Phipps?> Wasn't the jockey aboard Sightseek Jerry Bailey? Wasnt it Pat Day's fault for taking the bait Bailey set on Roar Emotion in the Personal Ensign? Was Roar Emotion a world beater? |
Quote:
I still don't understand why Bailey thought it was a good idea to run Roar Emotion into the ground. |
