So you're allowing that QR is better than Zenyatta and will win HOY over her then?

QR is faster no doubt, especially this year. Though it seems like the best bet to beat him would be to have a very fresh horse at 10 furlongs, not exactly many places to make that happen. From that standpoint it makes some sense what they are doing with Z.

I also think its a bit selfish, they want to race her where they live, have already shipped once, and will ship again. I also think there is a lot of pressure from the tracks to support cal racing.

I am not saying its what I would do with the horse, just trying to present both sides of the argument.
