If not the Whitney why not go 10f at Toga, why not an easy prep and defend your Woodward title, again even if you get beat it still says your willing to run, I dont see how any Rachel fans can bash Zenyattas connections after the Rachel camp settles on this spot. I hope she gets crushed at Monmouth and then retires, so we dont have to talk about it anymore.

I'll give you props for this, I said it last year JJ was an opportunist that many wanted to believe he was actually sporting. It's not really sporting when you are the 3/4 favorite in supposed gr.1 race against older horses. I think this year we are seeing just what JJ's true intentions are. Turns down big money to race in the Apple Blossom against Zenyatta, yeah I know the supposed reasons but goes to Monmouth for the money...It's bizarre, but not a surprise to me he has chosen this race with how she has looked this year and the campaign she has been on in 2010. No grade 1's yet, if they would only commit to the BC in the fall and race in the Classic I would cut her some slack, but that's not happening. We all should know this by now, since the BC is not out west and not on pro-ride it should be fun seeing what excuses JJ invents this year to not face top flight competition or run past Sept 5. Should be entertaining...
