it's really all about how the connections want to PROTECT a horse that's 15 for 15 ; in this case by not running her caddy against her.

Nothing like emulating Mike the Eunuch.

Zetcher has been quoted as wanting "to be in the big races" for the past month.

And now all of a sudden he changes his mind and decides a race with a lesser purse at Churchill is more important?

It's more likely Shirreffs had a talk with him or that Zetcher realized it would be a conflict of interest
