BC Launches Zenyatta-Focused Website. Will She be Overbet in the Classic?
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ocused-website
Excerpt:
“She is the star of the show,” said Peter Rotondo, vice president of media and entertainment for the Breeders’ Cup, in a release. “We wanted to create an environment where people could interactively engage and share in the Zenyatta phenomenon and where we could help educate a broader audience that may be new to Zenyatta, working with her team to provide some behind the scenes access.”

I hope it doesn't turn into a Cigar/Hollywood Gold Cup fiasco.

You know, it's things like this that make life difficult for parodists.
I mean, that thing I posted last week is going to be considered tame by Nov. 5th, much less the 7th should she win, sorry I mean of course, when she's won.

Sarcasm aside, I wonder which posters would actually go fist city over the topic of her legacy? Any thoughts? Amongst the sort of informed fans that frequent this site, passions run so high, that the horse herself seems secondary to the sniping she incites.

Nobody seems interested in how overbet she will be.
Does anyone think we might see some Mega Bridge Jumping on Z in the Classic?

When she retires you guys are going to have to find new material.

Will she be overbet? What is your opinion?
Most gamblers/Horseplayers will look at this as an opportunity. Fans are a different deal.

Steve Byk was actually talking about $2 souvenir tickets on Zenyatta driving her odds down. Maybe I'm missing something but I just don't get the sense that that kind of thing is going to happen. Whatever the outcome of the Classic, this seems like a private party. Will we eventually see any promos on TV or has ESPN given up on horse racing?

What is the definition of "overbet" in this race?
IMO, given the strength of the field, and the speculation about Zenyatta's ability on the dirt...she should not go off at odds less than 7/2.

Excerpt:
it's still probably safe to say she'll be below the 2-1 odds barometer, whether or not that's considered fair value in your estimation.
