Why would either of them ship across the country to run against each other for the same purse money?

Pocket change for both Moss and Jackson. It should not be about purse winnings for them but apparently it is.

A horse with ability is supposed to win by 20 with a setup like that. Calvin did well... backing-off when he saw they were going to try and steal it themselves. She looked good down the stretch though... but wonder if she can keep this up with hard race after hard race.

I truly hope they meet on dirt..In the Go for Wand. It would be an assume event. The winner COULD be on the cover of SI or for that what Time. It has the makings of a very special event.

I never said I didn't, but I get why they haven't and I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them do so.

In all seriousness, I'm referring to that old saying about horses in that there's only so much juice there to squeeze. Just because she wasn't whipped does not mean the race did not take anything out of her. She's run three really big races now in less than two months and we're only in June.

Moss

"we will find a way to make this happen"

I for one want it to be at CD, give RA 10 pounds, match race to boot.....so when Zenyatta beats her there is no excuse ( :

Travis stop it...really. You're taking a blanket remark about normal horses and throwing it over a horse that may not be an all-time great but is clearly not normal. We're treating horses like such pansies right now and it's ideas like thinking that huge performances where they win on cruise control leave them zapped that have led us to crowning "champions" every year.

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying this.
She won two of her last three by 20 lengths! The above quotes make it seem like she's been in a complete drive to do it over and over when it's been the opposite.

Her connections did the right thing in skipping the Belmont and they've obviously been rewarded with a filly who's still just as good as she was earlier in the spring. I just don't understand how you or anyone could watch that effort and wonder if she can continue to run at a high level when it's exactly what she's done now for the better part of five months.
