Enormous stage and will be the Hot place to be pre Super Bowl. Horse racing needs it but I won't hold my breath

Oh yes waiving the fees will get it done.

How about 5 Mill instead.

Man, you mean to tell me that there arent enough"rich" people out there, owners, sheiks, heads of state or people in general that would want more then anything to make this happen? Start hitting people up for loot, sponsorships hang banners along the track like they do overseas on the backstretch. What about striking a deal with Fox to televise and take all the tv money and put towards the race. Race one day SB the next, ratings would be through the roof, im sure there are plenty of smart people that can make this happen. They can raise enough money to bring them both there.

Yeah, but Zenyatta won't show..why bother with all this hype when you know she won't ship there. Just like she wouldn't have run at CD this year. Doesn't mean that RA is or isn't HOY, but all this "let them decide it on the track" is just wishful thinking.

This is a very educated post. So they shipped her all the way to Kentucky this year, knowing it would rain about Wed when she flew there, just so they could say she shipped.

Keep sending it in, bet bet bet.
