She's Done

[dean smith]

A question for one of you "insiders," or anyone in the know:

If I own Zenyatta, how does this work now? What's next?

I mean, how do I decide which horse to breed her to? Do I breed her to a horse I already own? Or do I go out and pick the best stallion out there and if so, who's paying whom and how does ownership of the offspring work?

These aren't rhetorical questions or talking points. I would really like to know how this process plays out.
