Then the pure randomness of genetic complement given to the offspring, linked genes, operator genes, epigenetic factors........READ some real genetics before you open your mouth and express ignorance of the processes involved.....If a genetics study were accurate, the literally hundreds of well bred foals would have been champions.........It is a very old saw: Breed the best to the best and HOPE for the best... · 402 days ago ·

gardenesque1 · Horse of the Year candidate Quality Road is a clear threat to Zenyatta. The Met Mile winner has earned a BSF or 110 or better on six occasions, including a 114 in the Met Mile and a 121 in the Donn. Deadly combination of speed and stamina. · 616 days ago ·

mshutty · Well, he beat me on Monday and as my wife can attest, I am hardly worth mentioning! Seriously, you are right Zenyatta wins the BC Classic and Quality Road goes home with his tail tucked between his legs. It is certainly safe to say they are the top two horses in the country right now until another horse emerges from the pack. Don't see one right now. · 615 days ago ·

cugel the clever · podduenas - That's my exact point. I can't name a better active male horse than the ones she beat in the BC because it's such a pathetic crop of older horses at the moment. She beat nobodies in the BC. Anytime a mare and a turf specialist finish 1-2 in the BC Classic, it proves that the crop of older male dirt specialists is poor. QR will reverse that trend for this year when he scares Zeny out of the BC Classic and he wins it in a cakewalk. · 614 days ago ·

amfuller · QR is the best older male right now. Hopefully he will stay healthy and he and Z will meet at Churchill. I really hope after the Vanity that Z travels more or at least she goes to the Hollywood Gold Cup and then puts in some frequent flyer miles. She's only facing 3 in the Vanity. I kind of understand her running in the Vainty because it's Zenyatta bobble head day :o) but was kind of hoping she would just show up for the SF. · 614 days ago ·

mdracing69 · Versatile 6-time Graded winner Quality Road has won at distances ranging from 6.5f to a mile and an eighth. He beat five Graded winners in the Met Mile. If he runs like he did in the Donn then Zenyatta would hard a hard time catching him. Ten furlongs could swing the pendulum in Zenyatta's favor in the BC Classic. For the record, Quality Road has beaten multiple proven Graded sprinters/routers including but not limited to Capt. Candyman Can, This Ones For Phil, Dunkirk, Custom For Carlos, Charitable Man, Warrior's Reward, Kensei, Macho Again, Asiatic Boy, Dry Martini, You And I Forever, Congressional Page, Harlem Rocker, Mambo Meister, and Musket Man. Zenyatta beat a solid international cast in the Synthetic BC Classic, and she hardly faced monsters in the majority of her other wins. I would like to see Rachel get back on the beam, and maybe Blame enters the conversation in the near future. Lookin At Lucky officially turned 3 at the end of May and should continue to progress. As for the beating nobody arguments, Zenyatta and Quality Road can only beat the horses that line up against them. 'Road has run in five Grade 1s in his 10-race career. The best horses available signed on and he certainly is not ducking anybody. Also, it is not fair to compare competition. Zenyatta always routes and mostly runs on synthetic. Quality Road is a conventional dirt specialist with only four two-turn races under his belt...apples and oranges! · 614 days ago ·

ponyup · Quality Road has broken three track records. Zenyatta hasn't broken any - please correct me if I'm wrong. Not taking anything away from her, she's a phenomenal race mare. I don't remember what her Beyers were for any of her races. As far as the BC and Quality Road, take away the bull whips and the blind folds, let him stand for a moment before loading, and it looks like he does just fine. He seems to have a gate crew problem, not a loading problem. · 606 days ago ·

podduenas · Zenyatta had her workout at Oaklawn when she won the Apple Blossom(yes, workout)--We all know she can handle dirt surfaces--The owners are trying to keep her in shape winning here on synthetic tracks. She will probably run at Del Mar in her next race (by the way, she does not like that track)---they will ship her east for a prep race sometime in September to Churchill Downs---and then she will face anyone that shows up at the Breeders Cup Classic. Then after that race we will decide who is the best horse. Remeber horse racing is not about braking records, its about winning races and Zenyatta has never lost-----I repeat ZENYATTA IS THE BEST HORSE UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE · 606 days ago ·

cugel the clever · WRITING YOUR OPINION IN CAPITAL LETTERS DOES NOT MAKE IT A FACT. Naming the "Best Horse" always has been, and always will be, an OPINION, not a FACT. In my opinion, beating the best males in the world three times (instead of once), setting multiple track and stakes records (instead of none) and beating horses at 8 different tracks is a more worthy record than 16 in a row against Grade III competition. · 606 days ago ·

medlocke · Right now, based on his last performance in the Donn Handicap, I'd say that Quality Road is the best older colt in America on conventional dirt. The only other colt who may have any kind of legitimate gripe at all about the subject is Blame. That's why I really hope we get to see these two hook up in a race on dirt sometime during the 2010 racing season. JMO. · 623 days ago ·
