Why would they change their actions after all this time? Because they said they would?

I really thought it was possible, and I don't think I'm alone in this. Others must have felt the same because the response to their staying at Del Mar this summer would have been far less if it were expected to begin with.

Honestly, I thought her first start would be in California followed by the Apple Blossom. From there, I really felt they would do something different. I expected them to run in the Hollywood Gold Cup. I thought they would find the middle ground between shipping East like they should, and staying home to race against the same fillies/mares by running there. But they did not.

When this year began, I was ready to give Zenyatta a fair shot provided they shipped around and had fun. But they aren't, and that stinks, and as a racing fan, I feel cheated.
