Zenyatta Totes 127 for 'Margarita

The second highest weight is 115lbs, if any horse can overcome a 12-16 weight difference I think Z can, she's a big girl.

Ideally, 127 lbs. probably isn't what you want your mare toting in her first race back after a more than 4 month layoff. But fortunately for John Shirreffs, given her physical structure and nature, if there's any horse in racing that 127 lbs. after such a layoff will not be a big factor for, it will be Zenyatta. She's toted as high as 129 lbs. in her career and still managed to find the winners circle. Plus, I'm sure that Shirreffs and the Moss's both expected this kind of weight assignment going into the Santa Margarita on Saturday. This kind of weight, or there about, is likely what Zenyatta will be saddled with for any Handicap race that she may run in for 2010. Bottom line, even spotting the field so much weight, I don't see this race being the one, especially over the Santa Anita surface, that puts the first blemish on "The Queen's" racing record. JMO.

Zenyatta to face 8 on 3/13/10.

I know who was nominated but does anyone know who is actually going to be racing against Z on Sat?
