Assuming Rachel goes in the Woodward, wouldn't that the best place for Zenyatta to take a shot at her, if Zenyatta's owners were inclined to take their mare out of her SoCal cocoon this year? There would be older males to run with Rachel on the front end, as opposed to what you might get in a race such as the Beldame or any other race limited to fillies and mares. And a 9F race track might very well suit Zenyatta's running style.

Zenyatta's owners aren't even willing to consider the Pacific Classic now. There is no way they are going anywhere to face Rachel.

I agree. The match race idea is silly. My point was that, if (and that's a mighty big IF) they wanted to face Rachel, wouldn't the Woodward be the best race in which to do it.

Isn't it only 2 weeks after the BC?

Recent history suggests that most horses are over the top after the Breeders' Cup and the preps to get them there. And the fact that the BC is a week later than usual makes the turnaround time to the Clark even less appealing.

I have heard they were not happy at all with Belmont after Giacomo and Tiago shipped there. Dont jump on me because I am not saying it but just saying I read that over the past couple of years.
