You have to try very hard to find a softer path than Zenyatta has taken. But it looks like Ol Jess has accomplished that.

This field is a joke.

I was not trumpeting--only stating ..

But by today's standards Z carried a little weight. I do not recall anyone carrying more however, male or female recently...

Essentially agree with the rest ...

True but when you win a handicap then go on afterwards to win the biggest Older horse race in the country over males and then carry the same exact weight the next year in that same race...that is really not a truly weighted race.

Of course virtually no handicap in this country is truly weighted anymore

Last line says it all ..

Truthfully I did expect her to carry at least 130 ...
