And while these two go at it for a bit, Big Z zooms by with wipeout #12.They'd put such a beating on RA, that they'd have to take her HOTY award back.

Assmussen knows this; Jackson knows this. Dirt/speed freaks just don't.

Fat Man - horses are animals not machines , when you make them do things (accelerated training programs) they don't want to do they will reject you and not want to participate

pushing ra for an april 9th race against team sheriffs is going to prove what??

we have an animal that was out from early sept to late jan , we have an animal that hasn't missed a beat since oct - it's a simple fact that Z will have more foundartion in her on april 9th

assmussen needs to get some long works into her , get her some foundation , and then get her back into racing by the summer - she had a tough campaign last year and by not showing up until the summer she will be following the same path as Z took the year before after her tough campaing on '08 when she didn't show up until May
