Assuming QR took care of business in the Travers, and RA did so in the Woodward, they could always meet in the JCGC. Unlike the terminally boring connections of Zenyatta, the players in these camps are not going to be afraid of making it happen.
The Woodward is the logical spot for her, especially given Kensai, who needs an opportunity to pump up his value as a stallion. If Pletcher is so all fired hot to have QR meet her, he can show up there, too. I really fail to see why, given her accomplishments to date, RA is obligated to go anywhere for anybody at this point. If she runs in a race that is absolutely open to anybody--fillies and colts--3YO and up--she is taking on all comers. What the hell more do you want? It is the others who are not taking up the gauntlet. She is the leading candidate for HOY right now. If somebody else wants it they can come to her or (probably, if they are named QR, Zenyatta and maybe Einstein) go win the BC Classic.
