Jess Jackson passed on a $5 million purse because he's not exactly a shrewd handicapper nor a good sportsman.

Probably gets beat in the Personal Ensign - probably wins the Travers.
There's a lot you can do with hypotheticals - what if Nashoba's Key doesn't die in a stall accident? All of her synthetic races were on par with Zenyatta's and she was also undefeated over it. What if Rags to Riches isn't pressed so hard and doesn't get hurt? She was born the same year as Zenyatta. What if Zenyatta isn't given all the time in the world to develop and debuts before the end of her 3yo season? What if the BC isn't at Santa Anita on rubber two years in a row? Goldikova and Conduit both went back to back. Bad Eastern turf horse Life Is Sweet won the Distaff. What if Zenyatta faced a decent in form dirt horse?
