i sort of agree, but i think the "plan" for a 6 and 1/2 month layoff is more to blame. the horse ran a hard schedule but you can't let her rest for 6 months without training. that was stupid! she may never get it back. then some idiot agrees with you and blames zenyatta for not retiring. why? because sheriffs is smart enough to keep his horse interested and in shape....thats the difference here. the horse needed a rest but the way they did it, for a horse like that, was pretty dumb. I'm not the only one that questioned how rachel would come back. i can see the next press conference announcing her retirement....rachels not zenyattas.
