How about Tiznow? His runners seem to do well on synth surfaces so shouldn't they try to create a pro-ride legacy?

Just got a notification that she worked in 50 today...

I thought she was being retired? Maybe she was just getting to be a handful and needed to stretch her legs a bit.

Not likely. She wouldn't want to risk defeat. We all would love to see her try

Maybe they can get Matt Barkley to be Zenyatta's new groom that way he has a future when he graduates from USC.

Maybe Barkley can split time with Shawn Suisham? They'll both be needing jobs soon enough.

I hate USC and this kid does suck, but he is a true freshman and this is a bit premature. A few NFL guys have said top pick 2-3 years from now.

He conveniently forgets to mention that the few "NFL guys" are Rich Kotite, David Shula, and Rod Marinelli.

Street Sense, Curlin, Empire Maker, AP Indy, Smart Strike, Giant Causway and Tiznow all will give a foal that would love the classic distances.

Street Sense might be a little too close to home being also by Street Cry.

Smart Strike gives Mr. Prospector 2x4 but through lines not distance-challenged. I like that.

Maybe this has been linked elsewhere around here, but I caught it for the first time today while checking the Santa Anita entries at calracing.com.

It's the story of Mac McBride, the guy in the hat next to John Shirreffs caught on camera during the Zenyatta win celebration moment at the Breeders Cup.

It's a pretty good and fun read.

She looked amazing.

Watching the interviews, it really seems like the Mosses don't want to let her go. Race her again!

Yes race her again! You only have one life to live, why not silence any doubters by taking on Rachel? Aren't the Mosses rich anyway, whether or not they get a Zenyatta colt?

Because after the BCC, its tempting fate to continue. And how likely is it that a race could be put together that would be "fair" to both sides? Unless RA will point for this year's BCC. . .

Seriously, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, let her go out on top. Don't let hubris get the best of you--and her.

Dirt track, 6 or 7 other horses, 10 furlongs classic distance

I think that would be fair.

I think even if there was not a race written that would benefit them both, any track would make up one if they knew both horses would come

Problem 1), getting 6 or 7 other quality horses. Who are they? Problem 2) RA wouldn't be ready for 10F until summer, if then.

Dirt, everybody's fine with.

RA will never be ready for the Classic distance of 1 1/4 miles

Yeah, she really looked like she'd struggle with 10fs in the Oaks, Mother Goose, and Haskell. I guess the race flow of the Woodward and Preakness don't have anything to do with her (in)ability to handle 10fs.
