That said, the race was made to order for a Zenyatta-Rachel Alexandra showdown.
Lone Star Park should think about throwing some money down for a race. They run several stakes Memorial Day weekend. Mattress Mac (who's more associated with Houston) might get involved. Asmussen has connections there obviously, and the ship isn't substantial from CA, so it seems a reasonable venue for all parties involved.

Don't forget the Chickasaw Nation now has Lone Star and they definately have the money and resources to pull it off. The track doesn't have the prestige of a Bemont park or Churchill,etc. but it did host one they better Breeders Cups in the 2000's, IMO
