I do not understand why Sheriffs doesn't take any heat for not wanting to ship away from California.
But, maybe the NTRA/BC/NYRA can kick up some sort of incentive bonus to make the idea of Rachael vs Zenyatta come together. Have them race twice, once on both surfaces. The Ruffian at Belmont and then in the Distaff at Santa Anita (The schedule seems alright to set up for the BC). Obviously it only works if you get both horses to agree to enter both races (of course if they are both healthy). Figure out some sort of apperance fee and bonus purse structure if one horse or another wins both races. I'm not sure who else would want to run, but it would be open to all fillies. Then promote the hell out of it and hope that both horses are healthy enough to run both races. I know that would dash the hopes of everyone hoping she would run in the classic, but at least you would have the sports biggest star present on it's biggest day (Oh yeah, and you run the Distaff on Saturday).
