They would at least have the co-win streak with Pepper's Pride (and obviously the most G1s w/o a loss) followed by the win they figure they get in the BCC, making her the leader outright.

well, according to tvg ( i listened on the radio) she's the best horse in america right now-this was before her win this afternoon. i would disagree and say that must be blame after his win over QR...
anyway, she doesn't need much money to be the top money earner in the distaff division...
i'd like to see her go east, i just won't hold my breath waiting for it. there goals are different from all of ours (they own her, it's their right!). they are stressing the win streak most of all. if they get it, and already have the classic win, why do another? they can get the money and the wins at home. and of course i read their 'we want to support cali racing' comment the other day.
zenyatta is obviously a very special horse. can't say i blame them for wanting to keep her close by. i just wish they'd have been willing to take on the boys this year. she handled them just fine last fall. winning a pac classic or hollywood gold cup would have looked so good on her record.
