Recto cranial inversion is a tough thing ... You may be regular, but RCI is the problem ...

Of course you would think there is nothing to get ...

Get well soon ...

Does not seem like Zenyatta is losing her "edge" after this third work if she is breathing fire today at the barn.

Wonder if the Mosses are waiting for the Eclipse awards on January 18 to make a big splash announcement with the whole racing world watching. Two years ago, Jess Jackson announced at the Eclipse awards that Curlin would race as a four-year old.

Definitely makes the Eclipse awards a week from Monday must-see TV.

It would be stupid to race her, horses don't get better at 6, at least not 99% of them, and you she has no where to go but down.

If she runs one or two times more in March/April, she would only be 4 or 5 months older than when she won the BC Classic.

Yeah, but, on Jan 01, they all age a year.

She doesn't need to improve. If she just runs the way she's been running, I think she'll be fine.

I understand your argument that she has nowhere to go but down but I don't necessarily agree. As of right now, alot of people still doubt her. They think that she's not as good as RA and they mininmize her wins because the wins (with the exception of one) were on synthetic.

If she were to beat RA on the dirt, I think that Z may finally get the respect she deserves.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that they should run the horse again. I'm just saying that there could be some upside to running her again. If she won a big race or two on the dirt (and beat RA), it would finally shut up all the doubters for good and she would get the respect she deserves.
