I’ve watched and …
I’ve watched and analyzed this race a lot of different times. Even if you’re a skeptic, and one who say’s ” the Classic field wasn’t as great as it was made out to be,” it was still a “very good” group of colt’s. All Grade 1 or Grade 2 winners, most multiple winners. To have never raced the boy’s, and never raced 1-1/4, plus overcoming such a horrific start giving away a lot of ground tells me ton’s about Zenyatta’s heart. Bottom line: I like Zenyatta’s chances of beating Rachel Alexandra. JMO.

@BloodyHeartedSoul How do you know that?You don’t.You simply think it.How do you know STS wouldn’t have been just as effective on this surface which has been taken to very well by the European contingent over the last couple B.C’s.His action was very fluent,the way he travelled in his races was majestic as was his finishing speed.How can you possibly say he was overrated when his record in Europe is unique.

I’ve asked myself …
I’ve asked myself that question probably 100 times. What if STS, a horse that refused to be beaten in 2009 had come to the Classic and raced a mare that wasn’t going to be beaten on that day. Makes for quite a unique set of circumstances. I think the outcome likely would’ve depended on how STS took to the surface. If he had, with Zenyatta getting such a poor start, STS is the one horse that she probably wouldn’t have caught. But if he didn’t take to the surface, she would’ve beaten him too. JMO.

I agree with you …
I agree with you able…alot of people are downplaying Zenyatta’s incredible victory…if she would have lost they would have said they knew she was overrated…now that she won they say the rest of the field was not that great…Zenyatta lived up to the hype and did it in dramatic fashion…I lost my voice when I saw this live…I will never forget the name Zenyatta…EAS…
