Seems like some fillies mature quicker and can more easily compete with colts early in their 3-year-old seasons
Usually a different story later in the year or when they turn four
WC's front-running score in the Derby was commendable … but something she never could've duplicated in a race like the BCC.
Somehow I don't think Shirreffs would've been shaking in his boots at the prospect of facing an 8 for19 monster like WC … lol
More to say to the usual nitwits … but gotta run now  |
on dirt you can be rest assured he would have been worried about winning colors. especially on a wet track.
im not taking away anything from zenyatta. but to dismiss winning colors for only winning the derby shows a total lack of objectivity. she matured earlier than zenyatta did. zenyatta hadn't even started her career by the time winning colors had beaten grade 1 males twice.
