answer-because they don't want to. talk of all these races away from where she likes it best is just that, talk. her owners and trainer want her to go out undefeated. what's the best way to do that? keep doing exactly what they're doing.

I could understand Sherriffs wanting Z to be in as much of a controlled enviorment as possible. Or at least with Sherriffs somewhere in the immediate vicinity to be able to check in and tend on her as he feels. Shipping and leaving her to train on the east coast would probably be outside of Sherriffs comfort zone. I just don't think he would be willing to leave her in someone else's care when he had to go back home and tend to the rest of the stable.
That being said, I still don't understand why they can't ship East for a race and then come back home.
