If your argument is that she'll bring her own fans, then it won't matter if she's racing at the BC or at Suffolk.
Exposure helps to create fans. The sport gets more coverage. Maybe some people get interested in being owners. Or lets pretend like the Haskell being only on TVG was "good" for the sport. It wont solve racings problems but RA vs an undefeated Zenyatta in the Classic would be a huge event, even for racing. Maybe they both retire afterwards but you need to get eyes on the product in a positive way.
