Anyone know how recent Zenyatta foes Rinterval and Zardana did today?
Just curious.

Zardana is only famous for beating Rachel so has to be classified as more of a Rachel foe

Horses that run with Rachel do not come back. She destroyed them.

Yes, but Rachel retired. I was wondering if Rinterval or Zardana had a shot in the filly and mare classic since they both ran reasonably well to Zenyatta who is supposed to be favored in the Classic.

Nice try, but her last out was against Zenyatta in the Vanity. If she'd won today there'd be claims that this was a next out G1 win for a beaten Zenyatta foe (legitimately), so you got to take the bad with the good.

It was the trip over the rockies that probably did them in.

Someone just PM'd me that they finished 6th and 9th. Is that possible given that one of them came close to beating Zenyatta and the other ran third to Zenyatta?
What are we to make of Zenyattas recent competition? I'm told that Switch is running in a 7 furlong sprint next but I could be wrong.

Run into the ground. That whirlwind going past them in the stretch sucked out the will to win. As they turned for home, both had flashbacks and gave it up.
Both now sit in their stalls and drool a lot while shivering.

Excerpt:
Even though the 3-year-old filly would appear to be a suitable contender for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic over 1 1/8 miles at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5 following her determined performance against Zenyatta, Sadler said she is better suited to the $1 million Filly and Mare Sprint over seven furlongs on the same day.

And, for bonus points, we had Striking Dancer finishing 7th beaten 6.75. Striking Dancer ran 4th (beaten 1.75) to Zenyatta in the Santa Margarita back in March.

Haven't thought about it yet.
Her competition this year has been suspect at best. How many of them are even going in the ladies classic? That's a little strange don't you think? And she's going to be favored in the Classic? Hmmmmmm
