I'm giving camp RA the benefit of the doubt that they weren't quite ready at that point, which is another reason why they should be the ones to step up.

They both seem to be coming into top form now, which is how I'd like to see them square off. So let's go ... next time out.

Sounds good, the timing would be right. I'm so ready to get beyond this and to the next point of contention.......Quality Road is better than both of them right now.

No one wants to run on those crap surfaces out west if they don't have to, what don't people understand about that? It's a complete crapshoot whether or not a horse takes to it. I hope no top horse ever ships out west ever again, just so that garbage isn't validated as a proving ground. The dirt is where champions still prove their mettle, like it or not.

I agree, dirt is the surface of choice. It's never a crapshoot.

What PeteMugg is espousing is actually rather interesting to me. Now, I don't think Jackson would do it because A., he hates synths and B., he's probably very much ascared of both Rail Trip and Zenyatta, but wouldn't that be interesting to try to force the Mosses hand for once?

Exactly, nobody said that dirt isnt where champions are proven, but the Mosses are not coming cross country again. I HATE synthetics with a passion but this seems to be the only way they will be able to get these two to meet. And while they are at it they can stop Zenyatta's win streak

I don't think Rachel can beat Zenyatta on synths. I don't think anybody can, to be perfectly honest.

Dont you think that someone should try to sponser this thing? With Blame and QR already going, and even though he sucks last years Derby winner, I think if they got a sponser and made this $5 million it could be race of the decade.

Or maybe a co venture between A&M Records and Kendall Jackson Winery?
