[quote=Cannon Shell;680759]The problem is that we are still speculating about a 6 year old horse that has 18 starts and now her entire legacy will boil down to one start and again her competition will play a bigger part in her performance than it should.
Excellent point. No matter what happens her legacy will be exaggerated, positively or negatively
IMO of all the leading contenders she is probably is best suited to win a 1 1/4 race. I just hope she loses so that we don't have more of the idiotic, copy-catting that goes on in this game.
The connections of Zenyatta are no more guilty than anyone else in the last 10 years of running a limited schedule. Since when are owners and/or trainers of females expected to run in available races against males? If this trend is recent because of the poor quality of the male division or the brilliance of the female division then why aren't Life At Ten's connections held accountable for their choices ? Blame's 5 race schedule ending in the BCC doesn't inspire me more than anyone else's but if he wins the race where all the big guns meet he will be a deserving winner.
