NYRA working to set up race between Rachel and Zenyatta

[Merlinsky]

Are tracks just throwing it out there that they're willing to draw Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra with X dollars entirely for the opportunity to put out a press release and get some attention? I don't know that all or even one of them is actually trying to do that but I find it hard to believe any of these attempts to draw Z out of California pre-BC are viable and is it possible that they genuinely believe it'll work? I would just be surprised is all.

If the Moss' goal is for Zenyatta to be HOY, then they should do this...because she isn't going to be HOY for winning the Ladies Classic...and I still believe Rachel will be HOY even if Zenyatta wins the regular Classic.

So why not take on Rachel in a G1 race? rather than a match race.

i think this is why moss has suggested waiting til after the bc-no doubt they'd like to win HOY, but they're waiting to see how the year shakes out before deciding to take on rachel.

Z.s connections seem concerned with one thing....not losing. Would be interesting to see if Goldilova entered the BC Distaff if they would find a minor problem and scratch her.

Interesting observation. One question, who has she avoided?

Unlike her great stablemate Life Is Sweet ... she avoided the Hollywood Gold Cup. She also now appears to be taking a pass on the Pacific Classic.

Her path to the Breeders Cup has been highly boring.

They should be ashamed of themselves. Other than the trip to Oaklawn to take on Giner Punch in the Apple Blossom, they have been complete wussies.
They should have just bred her big ass if this was all they were gonna let us see this year.
