Start Making nessecary statements? LOL She has got 3 races left tops including today. She is a 6 year old mare that was supposed to have already been retired. She makes a prep in the fall and then the bc. If she wins back to back BC's, regardless of whatever else happens, are you saying she wouldnt win HOY? And that being the case, why bother with these nonsense "statements" that have no real historical significance?

As far as I'm concerned zenyatta is not even in discussions for HOY at this point, what has she done do deserve it so far?? Nothing. She better start making any statement she can at this point. Another meatball schedule is not doing her any favors up till now. And another thing she is not even the front runner coming out of Cali right now for HOY, Rail Trip is ahead of her currently imo

If Zenyatta does nothing but beat fields full of miniature ponies at county fairs the rest of the year and remains undefeated, they will give her HOY for lifetime achievement... or as an apology for the previous two years. Believe it.

This is very wrong.

It'd be pretty damn hilarious (and telling) if Zenyatta went 20-for-20 and never won HOY.

If she went 20-20, I think she would have to win the Classic this year, and that would assure her HOY....
But like Brian said above, he is simply wrong. QR and Blame are both legit, QR is actually far ahead right now for HOY IMO.

I disagree that the Classic would assure her anything if they keep going the safe route. If QR wins the Donn, Met Mile, Whitney and Woodward, that would probably beat (essentially) just a BCC win.

You know I am the biggest QR guy around, but I disagree.... If she wins the Classic this year, I would think she has to win it, but these are all huge ifs...For the record, I think QR is sitting on a MONSTER YEAR, and he will win HOY.

So, a 20-20 lifetime record and a head-to-head win vs. QR in the BCC (especially if the field includes RA...) would not be enough to win Zenyatta HOY? A second BCC in a row, btw.

Respectfully, you are high.

Unless the anti-West Coast bias is stronger than I thought.
