If he has nothing to lose, why not run? Becaue SHE might lose?

thank goodness.

but i also take issue with the term 'championship'. these horses run all season, this is no super bowl. it's not football where the best left standing are the ones who duke it out. she won't be the only one skipping, and i perfectly understand why jess won't bring her. it certainly doesn't tarnish everything she's done if she skips it.

where are the offended that zenyatta never shipped again since early spring? or that other top horses in their respective groups such as fabulous strike won't be there. rachel is not the horse with something to prove here.

as for what is there to lose-he wants to run her next year. what if the surface switch (which everyone recognizes can and does pose a problem for horses making said move) caused an issue for rachel, one serious enough that she couldn't run another season?
