45% on each of the other two possibilities.

what about they both back out?

Unlikely, as the one that runs in the event the other backs out will have a huge leg up in the ego/PR battle.

but if rachel backs out, the purse drops dramatically. mosses could stay home to run for the same money then. now, if zenyatta doesn't show, rachels right here so i wouldn't see her backing out.

They all lose.. Slew lost, Big Red lost, Forego lost, Bid lost PE didn't and Zenyatta hasn't but there is NO shame in losing. The shame is when you dont show up. Without sounding to sappy, watching to champions give it their all and having one edge out another doesnt make the other a bum.
