I'm sure they wish they had more time .. but RA obviously has a big chance in the Apple Blossom if they don't chicken out and stall for more time.

As I have written previously, a loss at FG takes the pressure off of RA's camp should they decide to skip the Apple Blossom and train her up into the La Troienne. They can now save face and skip the Hot Springs race. I think Jackson has this fear that RA would be 90% for the Blossom, lose to Zenyatta, and then Zenyatta would never again leave SoCal. If RA shows up in the Stephen Foster, Woodward, and BC Classic, then Z will have to engage her at some point along the road.
