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

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.

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?

Had Zenyatta come - RA's camp would have tried to hold out and push for a much larger purse, a distance change to 9.5 furlongs, and a Jess Jackson bobble head doll giveaway promotion the day of the race.

RA had HER chance to show up, at OP. She didn't. Her connections had committed to it. They reneged. Z's connections haven't committed to anything at SAR. The RA crew can spin it any way they want but why should she get a 2nd chance? Especially when giving her ANOTHER opportunity would require shipping your horse cross country. The RA crew can whine all they want; that's about all that having your horse NOT SHOW UP gets you.

Funny how the **** gets spun around here.
