It's not like both horses have a ton of options... The Spa is the logical and obvious next choice for both.

The rivalry has to be marketed well, because it's as intriguing as Rachel or Zenyatta alone. As for your second point, bingo. I don't know who the hell Porter thinks he's kidding by demanding a purse increase. If she goes to the Woodward, that's a pretty good-looking option for NYRA as well.
