So much word to this.

Nobody I mean nobody is coming to the track to see Mr. -7.5 run. 2010 is about the gals, two of them. Jerry Brown and to a lesser degree Beyer(BSF), can follow QR the public cares about Rachel and big Mama Zenyatta..I get QR maybe the fastest of the 3 but who cares?

he wouldn't go in the gate when he saw Zenyatta on the track

if he had to run against Rachael he probably wouldn't leave the paddock

I'd pay my taxes early if I could fast forward the calendar to April 9 without any setbacks for these two.

This is the best win at the track I may have ever had. Tickets at the finish line. Confirmed hotel rooms just a couple of hours before the announcement and a spark in my wife's eye. Now that's a winning tri-fecta.

Has anyone given any thought what would happen if it should rain? I'm guessing Rachael would be in the gate, and opinions on Zenyatta running on an off track?

What I want is for OP to make sure that they put this race as the last one of the day. Us working people need time to get home and watch it live. It needs to go off no earlier than 6:00 pm EST!

Any ideas as to who will be broadcasting it? Will it be the usual HRTV or TVG or will ESPN decide this is worthy of 30 minutes of air time?

ETA: At least Steve will be able to air the audio on ATR!

I don't know about that. After vanquishing Past the Point, he's already beat the key opponent along the way to the last two Horses of the Year.

I'd have to imagine Zenyatta would scratch if it rains.

For the record, I think this whole deal is pretty much the worst idea in horse racing in a long time. A Friday? Seriously?

Gosh, are you saying now that Rachel is prettier than Zenyatta? You Lucky Alexander people are so shallow.
