Default Zenyatta running in 2010
Zenyatta to race in 2010
By Brad Free

http://drf.com/news/article/110161.html

ARCADIA, Calif. - Zenyatta will run in 2010. Owners Jerry and Ann Moss told Daily Racing Form on Saturday that the undefeated 6-year-old mare will campaign this season. "We're going to run her," Jerry Moss said Saturday at Santa Anita.

It was widely believed that the Breeders' Cup Classic was going to be her final start, and Moss thought so, too. "I got very emotional after she won the Breeders' Cup and thought what better way to retire," Moss said. Zenyatta, however, bounced out of the Breeders' Cup in top shape and has posted three half-mile workouts at her Hollywood Park base recently. Jerry and Ann Moss visited Zenyatta on Saturday morning. "Seeing her today, she's so radiant," Ann Moss said.

The Mosses asked trainer John Sherriffs for his input, and he was fully supportive of running the mare in 2010. A comeback race for Zenyatta has yet to be determined as the Mosses statement on Saturday was the first official indication that she would continue racing. It will be up to the trainer to decide when and where she returns, Jerry Moss said.

While I applaud the decision, why all the lies and deceit all this time with her?

I think it was pretty obvious the whole time they were full of crap about why she was working out.

Well I do think they have figured out she won't win horse of the year. The upswell after the cup looked like she might have a chance. They still want the big prize horse of the year I guess? Or a crowd of 80,000 at some track.

Please Mosses....do the right thing and follow Rachel Alexandra to whichever race she goes in!!!!

So that there can be no debate anymore who is better! I like RA, but I just want the debate to end, even if Zenyatta beats her fair and square.

Wouldn't be too surprised to see her stay in CA, then be retired before the BC, especially if RA shows up and is as dominant as she's been.

The Mosses did say she may run in 2010--if you cared to remember ...

There were no lies and deceits--just no direct answers til now, frustrating to be sure--it was just you guys that filled in the blanks and made the assumptions--like the parades were farewell parties ???

They did say that they were working her to " keep her happy ", but they never said that down the road they would race her for similar reasons ...

Be happy she will run, and remember, your assumptions have been off the board so far ...

That would be pointless... Unless it was Big Cap and Gold Cup, I am sure shes going to Dubai, No?

The ? is..... will he be keep her in So Cal... or go race her on dirt?!

Z's alot better than avg horse, but want to see her win on dirt (or grass)... something other than synthetic, before she goes into the superhorse category (which most have already put her into).

They also said she is still retired, not even a week ago.

They said one thing, than they said this, a week later. They were keeping her in training, so they were obviously giving it at least very serious consideration, for bringing her back. How is that not deceitful?

And how the hell have my 'assumptions' been off the board so far? What the fugg does that even mean?

Are you really that naive to believe the things you are saying?

You are probably the most ridiculous poster on all of DT.

Apple Blossom is the most logical choice for an RA-Zenyatta meeting.
Both raced at Oaklawn and won there before.

I will let the real reporters uncover that part, I only hear things and none of that is confirmed.
