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.

From what I understand, I don't think that's allowed around here

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.
