Somehow, its hard to get so flipped out about a horse that's never run. Maybe its just me.
agreed grits anything associated with Zenyatta and that's what you get.

FTFY. I thought the same thing when Street Life went off 6.70:1 in the Travers.

Maybe it's just me.
Then again, that's 'Chad's' horse.

Please, don't rewrite my posts. As much as you feel you may be, you're not bright enough to qualify. Its in your best interest to put me on ignore if you don't like what I post here at PA. I promise you, if my past history reveals anything, its that I'm not your best choice as a troll candidate.

I trust you'll understand, "whateveryournameisthismonth." Thanks.

If she turns out to be a good enough horse to be competitive in stakes, that would be a huge success. More than that would be great. The expectations (or hopes) for more are unfair to her and the connections. Shirreffs is handling her like she has some ability but she must have had a setback or two along the way as she was growing because her training has been interrupted a couple of times.

Anyway, I'd be surprised if a late fall start didn't happen.. that's when 3yo Zenyatta debuted as well..

This will be a wonderful betting opportunity!!! Zenyatta's half-sister...with the sire being the overrated Bernardini?? With a 7% 1st time out trainer???

Ironically, the best alternative is a Moss owned filly named Belonging...

Shirreffs has weak stats with FTSers in recent years but Nakatani's presence is not a problem. Five wins, four seconds from just 15 starts together in the past five years.

The dam has thrown five starters. Four of them are multiple winners, three won their debuts and two are multiple G1 winners. So unless she offers a poor physical/emotional impression in the paddock/parade-- which is unlikely-- I won't be betting against Eblouissante on Friday. Her workout pattern is solid and the opposition is hardly overwhelming.

In a normal situation, she should be 5/1 to 10/1. She won't be. Zenyatta has ruined her value. I think it's worth the risk to go against.

I'm not afraid to be wrong.

In addition, any Bernardini offspring is already overhyped. How much more will the half to Zenyatta be? Fair odds will just not be there.

Or simultaneously obnoxious and boring.

What exactly is the deal with that 'Pretty Horse Handicapper' link of yours? Never mind.
