I don't understand the appeal of the Beldame if she wins the Woodward as expected, why would she go the Zenyatta route now? The only logical race is the JCGC if we are to believe Jess Jackson, he is running her in spots for her 'legacy'. What type of legacy does the Beldame offer that the JCGC doesn't offer more appeal in spades?

He's going to be remembered as chicken, if by some chance the Zenyatta camp agrees to go to the Beldame.

Can the filly crush in the Woodward first before you worry about the Beldame. Your post assumes the Woodward is a for gone conclusion. assuming you are right isn't the Beldame a logical race for RA especially with the lure of Zenyatta?

Is it too much to wish the purse of the JCGC was the one that was increased and not the Beldame? The BC Classic would be somewhat anti-climatic if these 3 plus QR and maybe MTB could meet in a race at Belmont, frankly I am sceptical of any of them meeting but hopefully I am wrong and they do find a way to make it so.
