FTFY.

I dont understand the "reigning champ" thing either. Just because you win an award one year SHOULD NOT give you a leg up for the next year.

If Rachel wins the Woodward, she should be HOY, 3YO filly champ, 3YO colt champ, Champion older horse and Champion Older Mare.

Zenyatta has done nothing this year to win any awards IMO. She still has a couple opportunities to change that..

I dont know what the reason is but I get no excitement from Zenyatta. Probably my east coast bias, especially since the poly came to California, but I think it goes beyond that. I loved when Lava Man was on top of the world, at least out west. But Zenyatta does nothing for me. I could care less when she races.
