No way she goes off at 19-1Comment -
My guess would be something like ...
5/2 Zenyatta
4/1 Lookin at Lucky
6/1 Blame
6/1 Haynesfield
8/1 Quality Road
I did get a small bet on Zenyatta @ the 5/1 that was available earlier in the week ... that was a silly price ...
I might also get a small bet on Haynesfield too on the day .... If Zenyatta is supported - I'm hoping to get around 8/1 for him.Comment -

first off zenyatta is better on dirt she doesnt win because of the synthetic surface she wins despite of it. that artificial surface doesnt suit her style whatsoever. andrew beyer is a complete moron and beyer speed figs are complete dogshit. zenyatta loves this distance, who else in this race does??Comment -
So dirt surfaces are better for late runners than synthetic? Got any other insight that is refuted by a mountain of evidence.Originally posted by tim0402Comment -

I think you're right. I hope and expect Zenyatta will get a race with pace for once.

wish they had a future wager on her leaving cali, hope she doesComment -
think you're right, though i suspect better quality animals will be setting that paceOriginally posted by BarkingToadI think you're right. I hope and expect Zenyatta will get a race with pace for once.
good luckComment -
Do any of you zenyatics want to give me odds that she won't finish in top 3?Comment -
In the advance odds posted at drf.com, they list Zenyatta as the favorite at 3-1, Blame at 5-1, Lookin at Lucky and Quality Road both at 6-1.Comment -
think you're sure to find a few takers mikemc, bet she finishes midpack, know i'm going to get bashed for this but i still say they won't run herOriginally posted by mikemca
please wait till cup day then call me a stupid***** or whatever you like, not trying to bash her, i hope she does run
good luckComment -
why would you still think that they will not run her? Barring any injuries, she is on course to run. This was the ultimate goal of bringing her back this season.Comment -
I think she has a reasonable shot, but that puts fair odds around 5-1 meaning she's an underlay at the 3-1 or so I think she'll go to post at. She needs pace, which should be to her liking, but as was mentioned, the pacesetter won't be a glorified claiming female, it will be Haynesfield or Quality Road, and it will be on a surface that carries speed. Also, she won't be the only one making a move at the leaders off the turn. Blame and LAL among others will be doing the same thing.Comment -
just based on the way shes been handled up to this point & her possible dislike for the dirt surface,, you're probably right gtkid, she's on course to run, only 2 weeks out,Originally posted by gtkid911
perhaps i put my foot in my mouth again
good luckComment -
Do you think they'll run if it rains? I was there last year and terribly disappointed when she scratched due to the off track.Originally posted by gtkid911Comment -
I'm starting to think she wil go off right around 5/2.. Anyone know how much was in the classic win pool last year???Comment -
$7.7 million in the WPS pool. Can't find a breakdown.Comment -
How much was in the win pool only?Originally posted by jw

She'll be around 2-1. A lot of that is hype money, but she is undefeated.Comment -
How are you all approaching the classic on pick 6 tickets? Cover all of Zenyatta, Quality Road, Blame and Looking at Lucky, or something else?Comment -
just thoughts swirling around in my head, just meant for the most part she is unproven on a dirt trackOriginally posted by floridagolfer
good luck to you & zenyattaComment -
Blame,Quality Road as A'sOriginally posted by klinkman
Lucky as a B
Fly Down as a CComment -
miekmca, i could be wrong but seems you don't think much of zenyatta, is it the whole zen vs racheal thing? it was for me, took me along time to admit zen is the real thingOriginally posted by mikemcaComment -
I think she is a great mare on synthetics but has almost no chance on dirt vs this field.This race sets up perfect to exploit a public who are betting as fans and think 19-0=unbeatable.She is 0-0 vs males on dirt and only 1-0 vs males in all.I could go on forever why I am playing against her none of which is Rachel.Comment -
makes pecfect sense, i'm still waiting for them to back out, if she runs she will be cranked & ready to goOriginally posted by mikemcaComment -
Will she be overbet...absolutely, but to say she doesn't have a chance is going way out there. On paper she is probably the slowest in the field, but speed figures have never been able to find a place for her. She is a true 10f horse- when most here arent- and the pace setup will favor the late runners. I keep saying fair odds are in the 5 or 6 to 1 range.Comment -
No way 5-6 to 1. Books had her at 7-2 for a while now 3-1. Speed figures depend on the pace of which she has no control over so you cant blame her speed figures. Honestly the best way to just gauge her excellence is to just watch her races. The way she moves is just so graceful and her will to win is just ridiculous.Comment -
Zenyatta 8/5 morning lineComment -
Quality Road drew the rail with Blame in post 5 ,Zenyatta post 8,and lookin at lucky is not so lucky he drewthe outside post 12Comment -
With the huge pools, she'll likely be 9-5 to 2-1. Be surprised if she's lower than that.Comment
