The Zenyatta team probably think they have the better horse and would rather not chase RA by shipping her east side. If they want to meet then RA should be chasing Zenyatta. Besides Santa Anita is the host of this years Breeders Cup so its probably best to stay put and chill till then. RA can meet Zenyatta if she goes in the ladies classic but anywhere else seems unlikely.
