Seems strange that Zazu is carrying the same weight as Switch and St. Trininans going 8.5 furlongs. Not much weight for age consideration in this race.

This race was a handicap until Zenyatta came around and they felt the need to remove the handicap so she wouldn't skip Del Mar.

You're right - it is kind of silly - the outright highweight in this race has run just one time in the last 18 months - and that lone race of hers was at Praire Meadows.

On paper, there should be some pace for Ultra Blend and Zazu to close into.

A Sadler horse for Jerry and Ann Moss that they're not willing to ship to NY...there's a surprise.

I enjoy Calzones and old-fashioned strategy turn-based video games.

Loved the race put in by Creative Cause in today's Best Pal. Great job by Harrington getting this fast colt to settle beautifully down the backside after setting the pace in his maiden race winning with a 96 BSF. I know it's tough getting excited about these poly winners, but i really do hope this colt takes these connections to the big dance.
