I am excited to see her pull down a grade 1 in 2010!

If she's "great" then I'd hate to see who is "good"

I hope that she returns to form and we get the rachel of last year back. She's a special horse and it is a gift to see her run!

Would zenyatta have to go over the Adirondack Mountains to reach Saratoga?

If Zenyatta plans to travel all the way there, again, will RA show up? There is precedence.

After looking at the noms, if Zenyatta doesn't run in the Hirsch, it's safe to say that it will easily be the worst Grade 1 race ever contested in modern history.

I hope she runs but I won't believe it until she is in the gate.

this is exactly why I was wondering why you guys were all complaining about Rachel "dissing NYRA & running at Monmouth".

How would Zenyatta coming to Oaklawn when Rachel was stalled in Kentucky be the same thing as Zenyatta coming to Saratoga and Rachel not running when she was stabled on the friggin' grounds? I'd have to imagine barring a catastrophe that Rachel will be running in the Personal Ensign no matter who shows up in the starting gate.

I'm just pointing out that your statement that there was "precedence" was pretty much nonsense. Obviously, Zenyatta isn't coming "east" again this year.

It was sarcasm.....a veiled attempt at humor

Shirreffs told Tim Wilkin of the Albany Times Union today that the Saratoga is NOT on Zenyatta's dance card. Jackson immediately responded by announcing the RA will contest the G1 Personal Ensign.

Yeah, that's the way it happened. RA's camp didn't narrow her next start down to the Personal Ensign or the Personal Ensign the day after the Lady's Secret. They were waiting for the stunning decision by Shirreffs not to ship Zenyatta.

In other news today, it's been confirmed that Zenyattards are still pretty freakin lame.

How soon until Moss announces that zenyatta is shipping to Saratoga for the Personal Ensign? It might be z's only shot against Rachel at z's preferred distance of 10 furlongs. What is stopping him?
