But it’s no sure thing. "We’re also going to nominate Blind Luck to the Cotillion at Philadelphia Park the same day," said Ward.

I'd like to see that race.

Blind Luck is a serious filly.

Won't happen.

[classhandicapper]

It would be a good race, but I doubt Blind Luck runs in that spot.

[gm10]

That would be some race ... Blind Luck is really good imo

[horses4courses]

Camp Zenyatta won't be changing their plans to run whether, or not, Blind Luck goes to post in this one. Or would they?

I, for one, would be sorely disappointed if Z suddenly didn't seem to be 100%, and they decide to train her up to the BCC. Chalk one up for the conspiracy theorists in that scenario.

Blind Luck v Zenyatta sure has a nice ring to it.......

Interesting. Blind Luck is better on dirt than synthetics, but in the Lady's Secret she'd be toting far less weight than Zenyatta. Plus it means less shipping before the BC. Do you go with giving weight to Havre de Grace on your favorite surface or receiving weight and stay at home to run on a less favored surface?

Taking on Zenyatta on her home track for a 250K purse vs. taking a plane ride & going for 750K ? She's already shown that she likes to ship.

[slew101]

Exactly. Never going to happen.

When I frist saw the headline...I got excited over the prospect...indeed, Blind Luck is a hell of a race horse, and you just gotta love her...if she does go in the LS, I seriously doubt they'd find an excuse to scratch Zenyatta...her works have been awesome, just what sort of excuse could they come up with...and why would they...even giving weight, Zenyatta would simply over power Blind Luck in deep stretch, IMHO. They'd certainly finish 1, 2.
But, since Blind Luck seems to be a great shipper...doesn't bother her at all, wouldn't it be the better move to go to the Cotillion and pick up a nice fat purse!!

Yea, I'd make Zenyatta a huge favorite over Blind Luck even though I admire the latter also. Blind Luck has already failed to overcome a few extremely slow paced synthetic races against lesser horses of the type that Zenyatta has routinely won (sometimes for fun) against better. It would still be a fun race to watch and put another big name horse on her resume.

Totally agree. Now, watch someone take your last sentence and add something like..."what big name horse has Zenyatta beaten"

[Phantombridgejumpe]

even $750K on the condition that both run?

Maybe another track would, could...but I seriously doubt they have the available funds to do that...it's a good idea, but no way they find the extra money...
