According to TDN alert.

I hope the other mare stays in training also, who knows, if she is willing why not?

Yeah, it seems as though Zenyatta is at least on the fence about retiring, or her connections are in any event.

On one hand I am happy to hear this, but also wonder "why"? What more does she need to prove?

Why does there have to be something left to prove? Why can't you race a racehorse who's sound and talented? This is great news.

She does not have to prove anything. Why do you think she has to run to prove something? If she is still healthy and competitive at a Group 1 or Grade 1 level then why not keep her in training. The sport does not need breeding stock. The sport needs healthy competitve horses with some longevity.

I get it.. I just found it odd. Especially in today's racing world.

IMO She's a racehorse first and a broodmare 2nd. If economically she can make more money racing than a foal will produce (which surely is the case) shouldn't that be the major factor in bringing her back? Not to mention attempting a possible 4rth Breeders Cup? Wonder when that will happen again?

If she's sound let her race.
