Default St. Trinians out till at least November

The Clement Hirsch isn't a handicap either. The show bettors are in for another laughably easy 5% return.

I know Grade 1 races are supposed to be events that are taken seriously and all ... but Del Mar really should invite these girls to take on Zenyatta in the Hirsch ...



Put 13 of them in the starting gate to make a field of 14. Have Zenyatta race 'for purse only' .. and allow for betting on the 13 San Diego Charger cheerleaders racing against her...with all the profits from the takeout going to breast cancer research. Just have the girls race for the first 1/16th of a mile - and they'll be out of Zenyatta's way when she comes across the wire to complete the 8.5 furlong distance.

How is this any worse of an idea than letting horses like Dance To My Tune and Taptam earn 2nd place finishes in very important Grade 1 stakes races?

It will be an event. It will be a charity. People will get to see Zenyatta. They will get to gamble on hot NFL cheerleaders. Boobies will be bouncing. Zenyatta will stay perfect. Everyone wins.

Z is unlikely to run in the Hirsch because of issues with the DM surface.

Who will the Charger girls be left to run against?

Really? St Trinians has never run on dirt. How much chance could you have thought she had?

I wanted to see her try and if she could carry her form on dirt what a horse she would be. But I would have liked the betting odds on her. She wouldn't have been so high as she hadn't ran on dirt so I'd have taken a shot with her maybe...
