Wilkes chose to run--conservative or not, and Shireffs for the aforementioned reasons did not .
Shireffs did not ship his mare acrosss the country for frequent flyer miles--but you can believe what you wish ...
I fail to see anything conclusive in your " point " ...

My "point" is that the whole argument about that race is dumb. The problem is Zenyatta fans have taken on the stance that she had a phenomenally gallant campaign in 2009 where she took on all comers, left no doubt about her superiority and tackled truly unique obstacles. That's not accurate whatsoever.
More importantly, I don't know why I posted because 2009 is done. The sour grapes from anyone associated with Zenyatta not getting HOTY can be cured in 2010. I hope they do everything they can to leave no doubt about her being the best horse in the country this year.
