she is short and would still be short for the next one

zenyatta was supposed to retire but continued to work regularly schedule breezes since the classic and had missed no time in training over the winter

suppose you have two human runners and one works out from oct till present and the other starts 37 days ago , don't you think think that the one who has not missed a beat since oct is in better shape than the once who just started training 37 days ago? horses are not machines , they are a lot like humans in many ways
