love his optimism

but he kinda lost me after he said

“Sam Houston has the best dirt course in the country,” McIngvale told the Chronicle. “This is the best time for them to hook up.”

He should throw in a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret and two pink Mazda Miata's for Moss and Shirreffs.

That comment is actually pretty accurate. Sam Houston has never had issues with breakdowns and considering the absolutely wretched stock that has run at the track over the years, that's a minor miracle.

I said earlier it has all but no chance of happening but if so those who attend will be treated to some lovely Texas hospitality.

It could be 20 million, like money matters with two owners worth 100's of millions and at a place like SH.

How will this settle everything? As much as I want to see them in a race together, this will settle nothing. You have a horse that wants to be near the front and the other one is a dead closer. Rachael will loaf on the lead and Zenyatta won't be able to get her. It's not cause Rachael is better (even though I think she is) it's about racing dynamics. Zenyatta just got up the other day in the last steps, do you honestly think that she will reel in Rachael after 24 48 fractions that she will set on an uncontested loose lead? Like I said it will settle nothing.

Actually Cannon Shell believes purses are VERY important so I am assuming if it was 20 mil that would get both of there attention..

i doubt that zenyatta will go anywhere to face rachel. there's no need for them to ship. there's plenty to win in cali. they won't enter her in an open race, as they don't wish to take on males. they probably don't want to enter a weight for age, and concede any perceived advantage to rachel in that respect.

if the main things the mosses want is to race zenyatta, enjoy her racing, and try to retire her undefeated, then there is no reason at all for them to do anything other than what they've been doing. if they absolutely want HOY, then they cannot. so, it all boils down to what is most important for them. i don't have any issue with them if they choose to keep zenyatta in california, just like i have no issue with jackson not taking rachel to the bc.
