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.:zz:
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.

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.

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.
