I don't find either camp offensive. The Zenyatta connections have every right to be thrilled with their horse. They've got a once-in-a-lifetime mare who won the Breeder's Cup Classic and provides thrill after thrill with her stretch runs. I'd have a tough time being humble if I owned that horse.

As for Asmussen/Jackson, they made a effort to make the showdown happen. I applaud them for (1) not retiring her, and (2) trying to make the Apple Blossom. I can't fault them for backing off at this point.
