Zenyatta has lots of catching-up to do for mid-August.

You know how I feel about Gio Ponti but his 4 GI wins have nowhere near the weight that Rachel's do.
If her 2009 campaign were to be over right now the only way GP wins HOTY is if Zenyatta stays in the berry patch division and wins the Distaff and he wins the Classic.
There's not a turf race coming up worth running him in so I'd point him to the Goodwood and if he runs well there then go to the Classic.
