I am not surprised. Wonder if Shirreffs will stick to the same story regarding this superstar mare with no racing future continuing to work, despite the risk of injury.

Shirreffs doesn't OWN her though, does he?

Steve -- Do you think Shirreffs or the Mosses is making the decision to work her?

I am sure there will be some information coming out shortly in the press regarding the work.

The Mosses.

It seems that they are having a difficult time 'letting go'. There are some rumblings that they may be considering 'something else' for her.

From the Santa Anita stable notes, quoting the wife of Sherrifs:

“It’s very cold in Kentucky, two degrees,” Ingordo said when asked when Zenyatta might ship there for breeding. “We sent one horse there and it got sick.”

they said weeks ago that they might keep her in cali til breeding time, that they didn't want to put her in the cold before necessary. just because the clockers timed her the other day, doesn't mean it was an actual work for a race. hell, get jesse ventura on the case, he'll uncover the truth.

It's definitely looking like her connections have their lips sealed until at least the Eclipse awards. Once again Moss was not very convincing in the winner's circle after Neko Bay won when he said that Zenyatta was only hanging around for the nice California weather.

Moss will get at least one chance to speak when Zenyatta receives the Eclipse for champion older female.

It could be that Moss will issue a challenge to Jackson when he gives his speech. Perhaps he has been consulting with folks from pro wrestling on how to do it with proper effect.

Lips unsealed. They said she's still retired.
