Default Zenyatta- 103 Beyer

Did I hear correctly that she got a 103 for her win in the Milady? pretty impressive performance, again...

She is one big gal. Maybe she should race Big Brown.

Home in 29 1/5, wonder what the number would have been had the pace been quicker.

you look at her, and watch how she races and its hard to escape the notion that you're watching something really special.

She really reminds me of Azeri, probably the most consistently excellent filly/mare of this decade. Maybe it's the whole Cali thing but she definitely has that look.

Hopefully both her and Tiago make the trip out for opening weekend at Toga.

She has to run a bit faster to be in Azeri's class, and beat better horses. So far all she has beaten is Ginger Punch who is only ok.

yeah but she did that pretty convincingly. she made Ginger Punch look like a claimer. I do agree that she has to move forward to be in a class like Azeri, but she has moved forward every race so far I believe.

She's very good for sure. Even though I'd said months ago that she's better than NK - which will never be proven conclusively now - I really thought she'd be a lot better on natural dirt.

Another guy I passed on in the 6th round who could have scored me a few points.

Look at it this way, you're such a nerd that the only way you can even attempt to be cool, a futile attempt I may add, is to abbreviate horses' names.

I have never thought that Zenyatta looked like Azeri. I always thought she looked much better than Azeri. Zenyatta has always looked like she is a male running against females. Too big and strong for them. She had no pace to chase, and it made no difference at all. To me, she is getting better, and stronger. This would be like a Tranny getting her T shots.

Anyone have any insight into her confirmation? As a half-sister to Balance by Street Cry, it has always stunned me that she only sold for $60,000?
