Makes you think that they should have traveled with more often and then alot of these arguements would have been put to bed a long time ago.
Yes. That's a bad feature of the BC. Not just Zenyatta people play it that way. I mean Blame only ran 5 races this year and also had to win the BC Classic to be considered for HOY. Despite his foster and Whitney wins, he too needed this race.
