Screw the BC. They bed their own sh*tty bed, let them lie in it. No one is obligated to bail them out. Let them fail--it is only way things might change.
If RA keeps this up, she will be HOY without the BC. Assuming her connections pick another challenging spot next time out, and if she wins again, then Zenyatta's path to HOY will require her to either come east and win over RA, or win the BC Classic. Her connections chose a path that would have worked unless a 3YO freaked--and it is their bad luck that the one that did is an utterly charismatic filly who is taking one challenge after another, and winning with style. Most casual fans outside of California don't even know Zenyatta exists. Casual fans everywhere know RA. Notwithstanding the Shadow of Assmuffin, it would be insane not to make her HOY. And it would also be a good wayto register disgust with the BC and polymania.
