As for the Rachel-Zenyatta matchup, we all know it should have happened at Oaklawn. That it didn't was frustrating on a lot of levels.
This year's campaign was protective to this point... which I get (somewhat)... but the Lady's Secret choice is a joke. She obviously is back to where she should be.

At that time he was saying Curlin was running in the Grade 1 races with a lot of history behind them and that Big Brown should have to meet him at a race of that magnitude.
Guess things have changed in his mind.
