What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Ventura...

2012 marks just the 6th time that the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint has been run. Before we get to this year's edition, let's look at some of the numbers from previous runnings.Read More

  • ashley.tamulonis · I would love to see another time like Ventura's, but unfortunately the times have been progressively getting slower each year. However, if Groupie Doll shows the same effort that she's been giving all year, then I think we'll be in for a real treat performance and time wise this year. · 211 days ago ·

  • LAZMANNICK · A filly that was just beginning to run at the longer distances where she thrived. In races from 8.5F and longer she won 5 of 6 including her last four. In 21 other races all at shorter distances she won only 7 of 21. What could have been? They finally get her figured out and then tragedy. RIP girl. · 647 days ago ·

  • medlocke · No matter what's said or done, they're both great filly/mare's. They've both had incredible year's. But IMO, and only IMO, the only reason they're both being considered for HOY is both of their abilities to beat the colt's. When you look at that, the quality of competition factor has to come into play. Granted, Rachel had a couple of more win's on the year than Zenyatta. But take a look at the World Thoroughbred Rankings and see how many colt's in the top 20 or 25 that Zenyatta beat, then take a look at how many in that group that Rachel beat. It's not even close. Zenyatta beat the much tougher male opposition. As far as female opposition, they both beat good fillies, but fillies out of both of their leagues. But, even in that category, as it turn's out, Zenyatta beat the Ladies Classic Champion multiple times in 09' as well. No offense at all intended to Rachel Alexandra supporters, because I too think she's a remarkable filly. But for 09', if I had a vote, based on what I just laid out my vote for HOY would go for Zenyatta hand's down. JMO. · 1229 days ago ·
