What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Japan Cup (G1)...

Since some thought she hadn't done it right the first time, Buena Vista did it once again. And this time it was for keeps. On Sunday, Nov. 27 at Tokyo Racecourse, second pick Buena Vista fought a close battle in the stretch with sixth choice Tosen Jordan, then pulled ahead 100 meters out to top the ...Read More

  • footlick · I thought it was nice to see her win also. Too bad the pace was slow and Danedream couldn't get better position early. I read she ran her last 6 furlongs in 1:08.8, but because of her draw and being farther off the pace than they wanted, she had too much to do. But Bravo! to Buena Vista! · 184 days ago ·

  • mkstorm · I've been following Buena Vista for the last four years and was so glad to see her win the Japan Cup. It was so deserving after last year's disqualification and this year's tough losses where it took track and stakes records to beat her. I still can't believe she went off in the JC at 5-1 here in the States?! Looking forward to her to taking on the Japan Triple Crown winner in the Arima Kinen, one of the biggest races of the year that nobody is talking about?! I'm a big fan of Buena Vista and will miss watching her run. · 171 days ago ·

Picking ZATT's Star of the Week 52 times a year can be a mixed bag. Sometimes it is easy, with one horse dominating in such a way that I do not give the decision a second thought. In some weeks, it comes down to a pair of performances in which I need to make a difficult decision that is likely to be...Read More
