I think she would have had a hard time running down Hystericalady in the 2008 Lady's Secret the way the pace of that race unfolded.

It's hard to say. She won that race very easily. She won by 3 1/2 lengths. On the other hand, Hystericalady moves way up on the dirt so it's hard to say. Zenyatta is obviously going to be more vulnerable to a horse like that at 1 1/16th than at 1 1/8 miles or 1 1/4 miles.

would have been fun to see, IMO that was the best race, along with the 08' AB that I had seen her run. The comment line should have been "won as pleased".
