Breeder’s Cup Classic winner Blame lost to Zenyatta in Eclipse Awards

When Zenyatta raced for the Breeder’s Cup Classic in 2010, she pretty much went off as the 19-0 favourite running close to the race lead Blame. Remembering the November 6th at Churchill Downs, the situation seemed like Zenyatta could pull off a decent win having already overtaken the field of potential male counterparts including Haskell Invitational winner Looking at Lucy; Haynesfield, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup; the Japan Dirt Cup winner Espoir City and also the Metropolitan Handicap and the Woodward Stakes winner Quality Road. However, towards the home stretch run, Blame gamely held off the race favourite winning the Classic by a head.
Blame however soon after fell short of his accomplishments against his most potential competitor for the season and missed the Eclipse Award that obviously chose Zenyatta. Their rivalry, however brief it may be was one of the most favourites of all time.
Blame was an American thoroughbred foaled in 2006 at Claiborne Farm, born out of mare Liable by Seeking the Gold who’s dam Con Game was a Buckpasser mare. Having both Mr. Prospector and Buckpasser in the genetic ancestry, Blame was an instant success on long distances fuelled with a powerful stamina. Blame was conditioned by trainer Albert M. Stall and raced by jockey Garett Gomez for his entire racing career.
Blame started a total of 13 times in his short but impressive racing career and pulled off a five consecutive races wins, all comprising of graded stakes. His first stakes race happened to be the Curlin Stakes which he seamlessly won against 6 other three year olds winning it by ¾ lengths. He charged the race lead in his next start at Louisiana Downs Super Derby Grade 2, falling short of the distance but stalking closely to settle for runner up by 1 ¼ lengths.
Blame followed up with a winning marathon of five races starting with the Grade 2 Fayette Stakes, the Clark Handicap, the William Donald Schaefer Stakes, the Stephen Foster Handicap and the Whitney Handicap. At the Whitney, Blame contested a close face off with Metropolitan Handicap winner Quality Road who he later again defeated in the Classics. After a brief second place stop at the Jockey Club Gold Cup at the Belmont Park where previously the Super Derby contender Haynesfield never let go of race lead keeping Blame well within a held off position, Blame returned to his winning form capturing the Breeder’s Cup Classic with Zenyatta in close proximity and maintaining his dominance on all the remaining contenders from previous races.
His most crucial win in his entire career is the Breeder’s Classic where he became the only horse ever to win ahead of Zenyatta, the otherwise undefeated mare.
