Come on, man, the entire reason for unretiring her was for HOY/win record purposes. You know this.

I'm not naive enough to believe it wasn't part of their rationale, however to say winning HOY was the main reason they came back would be hard for anyone to fathom. Perhaps going for an unprecedented 3rd BC title, to prove she can be equally effective on dirt in the Classic and the Apple Blossom, for historical reasons, all are equally contributing factors.

I don't have the time to research it, but I am sure there is some Zenyatta connection quote out there saying they're going for the win record and HOY this season. Yes, going after the freaking Apple Blossom was their reason for unretiring her. Good God almighty.

That's taking it out of context, and furthermore if we were all to live by quotes in a few select publications, may he(looks at the ceiling) all help us.

Since neither you nor I know anybody in Team Zenyatta, what else are we to go on other than the quotes directly attributed to the people who own the horse? You seriously cannot be serious.

We can use common sense, again I am not in disagreement that it was part of their rationale, rather I disagreed that it was the only reason why they came back.

Ok, well you just said that we're not to believe quotes from Team Zenyatta that are written in various publications out there, like DRF and Ray Paulick are just fabricating a bunch of quotes when they can't get Jerry Moss to call them back before deadline.
