Zenyetta will have to beat Nashobas Key, not the other way around.
NK let Citronade have things all her own way before engaging her and ultimately running past her. She ran decent in the BCFMT and had excuses with the ship and possibly soft ground. The last race she ran I thought she made a very good showing
Anytime quality horses are allowed to waltz out to splits of 24.80 50.03 114.27 they are supposed to keep going. NK just ran DAD down on a loose lead. Its hard to knock horses like her who run an "A" race everytime they are sent postward.
Why should it matter who shes beaten, who has beaten her? The following arent a bad bunch of mares. They are the only ones to cross the wire in front of this phony
Quite A Bride, whos a multiple graded stake winner and will retire a millionaire.
Lahudood, whos a millionaire, multiple graded stake winner, and champion turf mare.
Honey Rider who made nearly 3 million, and was a multiple graded stake winner
Passage of Time whos a G1 winner of nearly 600k while only making 8 starts.
Zenyetta has a long way to go before shes even mentioned in the same breath with an animal like this.
