2 career stakes wins for the entire field other than Zenyatta? Did I count that right? No wonder they "adjusted" her training schedule so they could fit this one in.

It's even worse than the Santa Margarita. At least she had to give 16lbs to Dance to My Tune in that race.

I say this only half facetiously, but I'm pretty sure Peppers Pride could handle this group with ease.

Is that really saying much? Anyway, whatever reasoning there was for upgrading this race from a G2 to a GI last year, it wasn't reasoning enough.

Easy, the attendance for Zenyatta's last race was about identical to the attendance for Rachel Alexandra's.

The attendance for Mission Impazible's last race was much higher than the both of them.

Yeah, you would think a bobblehead giveaway would be a lot more popular than a t-shirt giveaway.
