This would be, what...her third time running this race? Don't her people have any imagination?

Maybe Anabaa's Creation is available to get beat by a dirty nose?

why run in the Foster?? No Rachel or Quality Road... Plus, I think the folks at Hollywood deserve to see her run more time. I don't see any way they run her at DelMar, so I think its logical to get a start at Hollywood, then ship to New York or Monmouth over the summer, one last start at Santa Anita, and then the Breeders' Cup.

Would've been nice to see the champ in that Foster. Perhaps there's still a chance if the Alexander filly can get her act together and finally win a race soon. Then maybe CD will try to lure them to that open contest.
At any rate, can't blame the connections for wanting to give her a shot at breaking the record at home. 17-0 … immortal

I don't know, all signs point to Rachel giving the La Troienne a go next weekend. At least that's my bet if I were a betting man and all.
ETA - sorry, not the La Troienne, but that CD handicap or whatever it's called that Zenyatta scratched out of last year.

"We'll see what the weights are for the Vanity and go from there," Shirreffs said.
What I'm wondering is how little weight Hollywood can assign Zenyatta without completely embarassing themselves. Talk about conflict of interest. If they assign anything approaching a fair weight, they risk halving their attendance fig. --Dunbar

Didn't DUCK the BC and didn't DUCK the AB.
But the point is certainly well made/taken.

As far as the original post indicated, it never stated Zenyatta was confirmed for the Vanity, what it does indicate is like any good owner/trainer's do is they are considering all their options which includes The Foster. We have enough flip & flopping around with the Rachel camp, that we don't need another repeat performance here again. My gut tells me there is still a good chance she will be at Churchill Downs so I am certainly not going to overreact and draw any conclusions before it is 100% certain she will run in the Vanity.
