The 4 & 8 scratched. So at most 5 other horses will line up vs the top 2.

Scary thing is he didn't even hand ride her, he hardly got her out of a gallop- just shook the reins at her once.

There's "push-button", and then there's Zenyatta. SHAM-WOW. That was effortless and phenomenal. I've got her running the final 2.5F in 29 3/5 while 5 wide. It's almost impossible to beat a horse as good as that.

She took my breath away with that move....
Life is Sweet is no slouch either and she ran by her with ease and seemingly under wraps...

I'm not a big fan of horses that race in SoCal,but Zenyatta was IMPRESSIVE! Rachael Alexandra should be scared,because this horse will bring it to her good.

Why does a horse's geographical location determine whether or not you're a fan of them?

Because most,not all, usually do well there,then go out of state and do nothing.

I would assume because he planned all along to try to repeat in the Just a Game on Belmont day.

cakewalk for zenyatta today. ten for ten....maybe they can keep her in training, and in the winners circle, so she can take the consecutive wins record down from pepper's pride.
