They should probably wait until she's in foal though to announce the change.
Nah, she'd just end up being the first BC winner to accomplish a victory while in foal.

lol yes, you've finally found the hole in this totally logical progression. Everything made so much sense until you brought up the record.

Just take a race that is N3L and rename it the Zenyatta Stakes, since that's what most of the plugs she's beating are still eligible for.

What jumped the shark first: bashing Zenyatta or Smooth Operator? It's a tough call.

They should keep it the Zenyatta Stakes or publicly execute the person who green-lighted the name change. Preferably in the winners circle.

Listen up.

None of us are bashing Zenyatta.

We are bashing her connections, and tards such as yourself who can't tell the difference.
