Zenyatta's 2009 campaign is a waste

Lurker...Zenyatta in my opinion will give up the "monster prices" sooner rather than later. I would plunge against her before I would with Rachel.

I dunno, I have no stats to back up my gut feeling, but I think it might be easier to clunk up for third rather than hang on against a herd of closers whenever that day comes.

Although I think Rachel is the faster of the two, I agree with Lurker almost 107%.

Sorry I misread the post and didn't get the show bridgejumping aspect of it. I think Rachel has a better shot of finishing out of the money than Zenyatta does. I just thought we were maybe talking Win money, exactas, etc.

But show dough, Zenyatta is likely to keep hitting the board.

I was watching the 1988 Woodward for the 900th time yesterday. In the fall of that year, I don't think there was a horse breathing that was better than Alysheba. Imagine all the three-year-olds not given the chance to mature like he did at four and he didn't take extended breaks either, he was Johnny on the Spot coast to coast.

That Woodward (which I saw in person at Belmont) I thought was "Race of the Decade" for the 1980s. Alysheba, racing without Lasix at a time when Lasix was highly controversial went out and handed Forty Niner, Waquoit and Seeking The Gold their heads on a silver platter while setting a then-track record of 1:59 2/5 for a mile and a quarter.

Which horse are you more likely to dive into the bridgejumpers show pool and try and take advantage of some huge prices some day?
