Medlocke · Life is Sweet is really a filly that has started to come into her own, racing in the shadow of Zenyatta for most of the year, she really proved her metal in the Ladies Classic and I thought did quite well to get up for 3rd rallying from far off the pace in the Hollywood Gold Cup earlier in the year. If she stay's in training, this is a filly that I feel we'll be hearing more from in 2010. · 1267 days ago ·

invasor · Couldn't agree more! Seems like Zenyatta has already produced her best races. Still solid and well managed but perhaps not an automatic as she was last year. Why else would 10 fillies and mares run with her today? · 1379 days ago ·

mdracing69 · Nine were entered to face Zenyatta, but a few defected as expected, including Patricia's Gem, Briecat, and Hot n' Dusty. Not much speed in there now. Champagne Eyes is the likely pacesetter. Anabaa's Creation will probably stalk, and Zenyatta will roll from the back like she always does. · 1379 days ago ·
