Travers Buzz: Quality Road a yes..

I think you have a problem with vocabulary.

She can only go where she goes--she can't control who is willing to show up. Your example requires the highly unlikely event that Team Zenyatta grows a pair. Obviously RA will show up for that if she is still healthy--but as you state it, she has no control over all that: the nutless bunch in CA have to act first. That is reacting and, in this case, reacting to imaginary events that are unlikely to happen. So while you are pondering what will be very likely counterfactuals, Team RA have to choose real races to run in--and they are choosing them very aggressively.
