I have to give Zenyatta her due. She's a Champ. Hats off to Blame
Zenyatta ran great. Much better than I expected. She is a great one. 
Blame did the job and hats off to him.
Did anyone get the fractions? The pace seemed a little slow.

Amazing try by Zenyatta. I had 100 dollars to win on Blame and I found myself rooting for Zen to snipe him at the wire. Amazing race.

To go this close and not win is just deflating. That's racing .

That was a heart poundingly good race!
If Zenyatta couldn't win, I'm glad Stall got it. I've liked a lot of his horses and he deserves this.
At least nobody can say Zenyatta "can't run on dirt."  She did so good!

An amazing performance by Zenyatta... It's one thing to think at the 5/16ths that she has no shot when there are five turkeys to gun at... but that was really a tremendous effort...
