I see that dual Breeders' Cup champion was out stretching her legs again today.

Thank you for the thread title change! (Now the only thing to give me a sad is that there is no way I can get my hands on one of the Rachel-Zenyatta trading cards Oaklawn will be giving out.)

 Actually I think she doesn't like to throw around the 2 title thing. She just goes with HOY.

Per Bloodhorse article on Oaklawn website (sorry if this article is mentioned in another thread), "an announcement should be coming within the next week about a major network signing on to carry the race. Once that deal is finalized, an advertising pitch can begin to take form."
"Many have questioned Cella's decision to have the race on a Friday instead of a weekend. I may be in the minority here, but I think it can be a good move. For those of you that think it will be a late afternoon post, you are way off. I was told by the same source that the race will likely be scheduled for 6:45 p.m. CDT, which would make it a prime time event on the East Coast. If it were held on the Saturday or Sunday of that weekend, the Masters golf tournament might overlap the pre-race coverage. A Friday night horse racing might seem a bit unorthodox at first mention, but it will also have a new, exciting feel that could work out just fine. The other exciting thing about the Apple Blossom is that we can expect a full field in the gate and it probably will include some pretty decent horses. This was insured by Cella when he created an enticing purse structure that will earn the third-place finisher $500,000 and guarantee $100,000 to the last-place horse. Who wouldn't want to show up with those crazy numbers?" http://www.oaklawn.com/News/Story.aspx?Id=234

Notice that Jackson isn't saying she is at 85% of her top level, but at 85% of where she should be now. Perhaps a less than stellar race at FG will give them a chance to save face. Nobody wants to see them race each other unless both are at their best. Who could complain if the matchup is postponed until the La Troienne on the Oaks undercard as the national media would take much greater notice of the race.

Because Zenyatta toyed with donkeys and RA "only manged" to run about a 100 Beyer in a route race comeback for a trainer who is statistically close to being the worst trainer in the entire game off the layoff. I'm sure they wish they had more time .. but RA obviously has a big chance in the Apple Blossom if they don't chicken out and stall for more time.
