If RA wins big on Friday and then points to the Foster, there will be a lot of pressure on the z camp to run in the Foster.
With all the media attention focused on CD for the Derby and Oaks, it is a shame that RA and Z are not meeting in the La Troienne.

and i also think they wanted the apple blossom because they knew the rachel camp would be up against it trying to get her ready to go-and they were right. they got a bit brave with zenyatta, running her in the bc, and then pointing for the apple blossom. now she's extended her streak, and i really think they'll do what they can to keep that going. after she breaks pepper's pride's record (here's hoping she does, eh miraja??
) then maybe they'll ship again.
