It's also funny to note that in Serena's Song's 4yo year up to August, she basically ran in all the same races that both Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra have run in so far this year combined.

this was my point last week, the racing population at the higher end is just not thinner to less owners, its been cut in half or so by the stupid friggen sheets bull shi and probably the amount of time it takes to recover from the drugs that they take.
