I think the only chance Zenyatta is HOY (imo) is if she beats the boys (which she wont run against) in the BC Classic... or beats the boys in a different race AND beats Rachel.
Cause at this point I dont see how any 3yo colt could beat Rachel in the Haskell or Travers... she's just so much faster than anything in America right now. If Rachel wins the Travers or Haskell she could not race the rest of the year... or lose twice & still get HOY.

The smart move would be if Jackson came out today and said Rachel will run in the Haskell, Travers, and the Beldame if all goes well. That would put all the pressure on the Moss's to ship out for the Beldame. If they chose not to and Zenyatta won the BC Classic then Rachel could still win HOY. The longer Jackson waits to commit to a race that Zenyatta could ship out for the more sympathy there will be for the connections opting to stay in California. If they know right now the Beldame is the spot they could meet and they don't show up they will lost a lot of voters for HOY even if Zenyatta wins the Classic.
