Eblouissante, by Bernardini, half-sis to Zenyatta
I swear this 3yo filly has had 25 or more recorded workouts going back to 2011, maybe more. Equibase only goes back to April, can someone with better resources tell me how many total workouts?
Shirreffs wanted to have her in the starting gate last fall, but it didn't happen. In the meantime, it's just work after work after work, just like last year..
She appears to be fit and sound, so what are they waiting for?

You have to pick your spots if you want to maintain a perfect record.

Didn't Sherriffs often attribute some of their success with Zenyatta to the fact that they let her grow up and didn't push her into racing?

I have her on my DRF watch list. She's been working almost endlessly every week for what seems like forever, but she has never recorded a single workout that even hints of any speed (when even she got a "handily" designation). Patience is a virtue, but at some point you have to start questioning her level of ability. I think Smith was on her last year for at least one workout and had some nice things to say, but who knows. One thing for sure is that she's absolutely gorgeous (at least what I've seen of her).

I don't think she's ever worked farther than 4 furlongs. Perhaps we will see her at Del Mar

I'm hoping to see her race at some point . In any case , even if she remained unraced she has the potential value as a broodmare with her bloodlines.

Totally off subject.. but it made me giggle to think of a horse trying to type up a Facebook status.

They'll have to try her in a race sometime. She may be one of those horses who just has no interest in working in the mornings, but lay it out on the track in the afternoon.

She will be a great play-against whenever she does start.

BUMP
Yet more workouts, but she's been picking it up (by her previous standards). Shirreff's says she travels 'twice the ground as a normal horse'. Smith says she reminds him of big Z..
Anyway, I'd be surprised if a late fall start didn't happen.. that's when 3yo Zenyatta debuted as well..

There are folks that have been watching her every move, waiting, watching for her like evangelicals are watching for the second coming.
Somehow, its hard to get so flipped out about a horse that's never run. Maybe its just me.
