FICTION OF THE NINJA KIND

They keep asking if she can win the Classic. I keep wondering if they really think they can stop her. I mean unlike every other horse in the field she has never known defeat. NEVER. When she goes out there to run if horses do pre-run imaging she's always the first one across the line. Today, when she goes out there with all these male horses, in a field larger then any she has eve faced why would she see anything differently? I mean, again crediting horses with possibly more intelligence then they have she might know races end differently for other horses, but not for her.

Lets go back to Rags for Riches. Anyone remember her stretch run in the Belmont? She intimidated Curlin. They were next to each other and she laid back her ears and he backed off. He might have been tired, but she won. So these mares do have that edge and the urge to dominate.

So I'm really rooting for Zenyatta. I do feel the European Rip Van Winkle might be a threat with Summer Bird. Sorry, Mine That Bird, but you're just out. It should be really interesting to see how this all plays out.

So far it's been good day for the ladies with the Mile having been won by a filly. The same one that won last year. Goldikova was her name.
