This article is amazing. The Moss' wanted "to have fun with her" and so they're looking for a 3rd straight Hirsch? What?!? Wouldn't "fun" constitute a challenge, or broadened horizons? I guess not.

They're clearly just trying to win Best in Show rather than HOY.

This schedule is soooo beyond pathetic.

I would be happy to own a horse like Zenyatta.

We all would, it doesn't make her campaign any more interesting though.

Where is the missing the joke icon?

It's sort of obvious at this point that her connections have no real faith in her.

I dont think that is true.

They lost focus when RA faltered and had no back up plan to get to the Breeders Cup.

Listening on my way home tonight, they were talking about how great she looked in her last workout, dappled and happy and healthy. She IS giving up a fair amount of weight in this race, so it may be interesting. The great news (for me, without TVG) is that it can be seen live in the interwebs!

If Zenyatta was mine she would of taken on the one turn Met Mile to show the world what she's got.

It appear that the Moss's are going to try to keep her winning steak alive and beat the boys in the Classic. I am amazed at how well she runs without a warm up before the race.

Still this campain doesn't make any sense.

It makes alot of sense. It simply does not inspire any interest among horseplayers. They could run in the Foster and parade her through New York before the Breeders Cup and have nothing left for the ultimate goal.

All this campaign proves is that she is a little better, female version of Lavaman.

Even Lavaman had a shot at HOY if he won the Classic that year. They're taking a calculated risk that no horse will duplicate what RA did last year.

Not only do they want to keep "the streak" alive but the less wear and tear on her gives them the best chance to win the Classic.

Personally I think she'll lose this Sunday. If she does, maybe it will change their strategy.

[Rileyoriley]

I hope RA, Zenyatta, and Blame win this weekend and continue winning (include Quality Road) up to the BC. I want to see the 4 of them face off in the BCC.

[stonegossard]

Wow...just when you thought The Moss's/Sherifffs couldn't embarass themselves anymore with this same old weak schedule as the last 2 yrs, they enter Zardana in The Vanity as well as a rabbit, then announce they are running against the same field 2 months later at Del Mar. What happened to "This year we are going to ship her all over"? It's obvious they have lost confidence in her.

They should have retired her after The BC last year. What they are doing with her in 2010 is a joke and diminishing her reputation.

Doesn't make sense to want a so-called all time great to actually try serious challenges? Considering how she's run at Del Mar in years past and Shirreffs' comments, why not try her at Saratoga?

That's why the b.ullshit last year about how "Zenyatta was ready to run in the Beldame before Jackson declared Rachel" was ludicrous then and is now.

If you are a fan of this game you can't possibly be happy about Zenyatta's planned campaign at this point in time. Even the biggest California homer has to want her to go around the country and strut her stuff, and I mean at racetracks beyond Arkansas.
