Shirreffs' latest gem

They have said all along that their ultimate goal is to run in the BC Classic at CD. Everyone will have their chance to run against her at that point. If JS pulls out of that race then we are opened to criticize them.

The days of all the best horses running against one another in all the big stake races has long passed us.

Would it be great to see RA vs. Zen in the race in NY? Of course it would. Is it a little tiring to see them both race against allowance and G3 type of horses? Of course it is.

But, it is what it is and we will have to wait to see who shows up in the BC Classic.

And if this doesnt change the days of horseracing period will have passed us. There is absolutely no reason that fillies aren't running against the best horses if they can beat them, which both RA and Z have proven that they can. They are basically worthless as their owners wouldn't sell them anyway and there is a ceiling on what they are worth as mares already if they did try to sell them. Ego and greed are killing the sport at the top. What else would keep Zenyatta in CA to run against Rin Tin-Tin and company and Jess Jackson on the bum-a-palozza schedule?

It may be like this but it doesn't have to be.
