Thanks for the link, TJ -- I was going to ask if anyone knew when her next start would be. I require a Zenyatta fix periodically. I can hold out until June 13th, but not much beyond.

BDW, are you saying that she is going to wipe her ass with the competition?

I dunno, she would probably enjoy the Bidet Handicap--shows you have class and leaves you nice and refreshed afterwards.

For a mare that won the BC Classic, 129 lbs is a featherly assignment in this company. 143lbs would make the race more competitibve.

I saw her on TVG too, and she looked positively able to eat another horse, if need be.

I know I always think she looks amazing, but in that footage she looked more formidable than ever. Seems to me this was a long stretch between races; can't wait until Sunday.
