What the Nation is saying about the Vanity Hcp...

Once again the winner of the $250,000 Vanity Handicap (Grade I) won in last-to-first fashion, as Blind Luck swung wide to pass all five rivals through the stretch as the 9-to-5 second choice and edged 7-to-5 favorite Switch by half a length at the wire. Read More

In April of 2004, while visiting my parents in New York, my dad and I took a trip to Belmont. The main purpose of the outing was to bet on a horse my husband’s employer was running in Kentucky. It was my father who suggested we go to the track to place our bets. I’m sure he didn’t think the local OT...Read More

  • medlocke · St Trinians really likes that all-weather surface at Hollywood Park a great deal. She's run about as well over it as any other surface she's raced on since coming to America. But I just think that Switch's turn of foot might prove to be the difference in this race!! Switch defeated Blind Luck last season at Hollywood Park. Blind Luck is certainly not without a shot in this race. But I think she's about a half-length better on conventional dirt than she is on a synthetic surface. JMO. · 236 days ago ·

  • mdracing69 · Zenyatta and St Trinians could meet again in the Aug 7 Clement Hirsch at Del Mar. The shorter distance (8.5f) of the Hirsch could favor St Trinians, who reportedly threw her left front shoe in the Vanity. · 605 days ago ·

  • medlocke · St. Trinians will be the best filly or mare that Zenyatta has faced thus far in 2010. By far. St. Trinians is a very legitimate contender, that's won some races since coming to America from racing in the UK. She had also won some races, or ran very well in races in the UK as well. Similar to a Tuscan Evening, although she hasn't won as much in America as Tuscan Evening. St. Trinians won the Paseana Handicap in January and the Santa Maria Handicap in February, a Grade I win. Many thought St Trinians was going to challenge Zenyatta in March in the Santa Margarita Handicap. But St Trinians connection passed on that race in favor of running her in the 2010 Santa Anita Handicap. Where she gave a very solid 6th place effort to a very good field of older males. I don't look for St. Trinians to beat Zenyatta. But I do look for her to run a big race in the Vanity Handicap. This is certainly a mare that Mike Smith doesn't want to fall asleep on, and give her too much rope in the race. Like he did in the 2009 Clement L. Hirsch at Del-Mar, when he left Zenyatta far too much to do, and took her far too wide to do it in that race. It was only Zenyatta's extraordinary athleticism that saved the race for them on that day. If Smith were to make that same kind of mistake against St. Trinians in this race? It could certainly cost Zenyatta the title of most consecutive win's in a row without a defeat that she's been chasing for some time. JMO. · 611 days ago ·
