Shireffs would have Zenyatta ready ... Just like off the seven month layoff when she faced LIS first out last year .
There was no sinister " retirement " plot--what are you a fooking conspiracist ???
Moss wants run against Rachel, but NOBODY wants Rachel to run when she is not ready .
The question is--what is ready ??? And when ????
She should have benefitted from her prep race, and whether she accepted running in the AB or not, should be training for something, not going backwards .
The OUTCOME of this prep for Rachel was the determining factor--not fitness, not equipment, simply the outcome.
Had she won by 11--as is suggested had Zardana passed, the AB would be on, and it would not be a fair race for Rachel .
Keeping a horse on top of their game is an obvious goal . Preserving wins is also, but has the downside of being critiqued as avoiding hard competion .
This has been said about Zenyatta, and at times I do agree ...
It has never been said about Rachel, but it needs to said now .
