You know I think the world of the show.. It is a tough spot for Steve BUT IMO if you are going to have Sherriffs on and he is going to sing his mares praises then he shouldn't be asked when they will make a decison. Asking Sherriffs what would preclude her from the Classic, save her not running because of injury, is a must!
You have voiced your logic 3/5 profile of Rachel's campaign for Pete's sake this guy gets to announce for the 3000ths time will do what is in the mare best interest after he tells us how wonderful she is as a five year old..
"She does everything better, she breaks better, she is mentally better, Yada , yada , yada.." Please John save it for the little girls with signs.
Again this isn't about Rachel vs. Zenyatta.. I don't have to knock Zenyatta because I like Rachel it's silly. While I appreciate that Sherriff's was gracious enough to come on the air, he certainly doesn't have an ounce of sportsmanship in his blood as you have decribed it. He has a once in a lifetime mare, talks about her as such, but fails to expose her to a signal once of competition. And then when the ultimate goal is weeks away fails to commit to even wanting her to race in the Classic. How about him saying Steve I will have her ready to go and IF the Moss's ask me were I want her to go my vote is in the Classic against the whomever shows up?
