7 Zazu (KY) 3/F L* J Rosario 117 J W Sadler
Unfortunately for Zazu, she goes up against the monster that is Turbulent Decent. At this point, I'm fairly certain this race will be unplayable (from my pov). After her last, TD will likely offer far short of anything close to value (1/5 is what I'd assume) and I also don't see myself betting against her. Great watching race as I follow my favorite 3yo filly down her path to the Oaks.
I'm just glad we've been able to bet Turbulent Descent in her last two.
Incidentally, she's listed on a current Derby sheet @ 150/1. The thought has crossed my mind, especially with Rachel winning the Preakness a couple of years ago, and then Devil May Care going in the Derby last year. Seems like maybe trainers are more willing to do it now. I haven't had any success betting fillies to win that race though, obviously. I've bet maybe 4 or 5 of them over the years, and got a second out of Eight Belles a few years ago. Had Rachel to win the Derby @ 125/1. That sucked big-time.
Looking over the past matchups between TD and Zazu,Zazu may be the better horse this year.TD like most horses peak early in there 2 year old season,Im not taking anything away from her,TD really good horse but a horse you may want to bet against in the near future!
