His proposal has legs, but it needs to be a regular horse race because Zenyatta has zero shot letting Rachel Alexandra walk around on the lead by herself.

Anyone catch the article in tomorrow's form about Zenyatta? Shirreffs says "if they are going to decide HOY, I would hope it could be settled at the Breeders' Cup. If it isn't, and we think we have the opportunity to win it, then we'll have to go travel after the Breeders' Cup."
While it's encouraging to hear that, is it just empty talk? Does anyone believe that they would do that? Would it even make sense to train your horse to peak for the BC and then try to bring them back for another race afterwards? Is it just talk because they know that Rachel's season would likely be over already?

I don't believe it and it became clear on Sunday why they are not doing anything but "business as usual" with her.

LOL ... keep dissing the undefeated champion Street Cry mare at your own peril.
Wouldn't be surprised if RA ends up in Philly ... taking on another assortment of 3yo creampuffs. Doubt if they want any part of QR ... or ten panels, for that matter, at the Spa. Would love to see some old slug expose her in the Woodward, tho…

All of this stupidity could be scaled back if they'd just run Zenyatta in the Pacific Classic...what the hell is wrong with running her there? Are most of you really thinking that Rail Trip is that good? If Zenyatta is who everyone on the west coast wants her to be she should beat Rail Trip rather easily.
Now we have Rachel Alexandra being chastised for not running 10 furlongs?!? I went through the PPs for hours and couldn't find Zenyatta's last 10 furlong effort. NT

perhaps instead of engaging in fruitless debate (sounds like dems vs reps in here) everyone should just enjoy each horse for what it has accomplished. each side accusing the other of taking on 'bad' horses....lol zenyatta is attempting to go undefeated, rachel is running an original campaign. knocking one doesn't elevate the other. if they meet, great. if they don't, they don't. doesn't mean either one suddenly isn't as good as originally thought.
