That much is correct.

Fact:

Reigning Horse of the Year has chance to show up for last year's BC.
Reigning Horse of the Year has chance to show up for the AB.
Reigning Horse of the Year's connection **** their pants in both cases and DUCKED Zenyatta. They've since STFU.

The DRF/BEYERites haven't and they continue the childish spin. You can't change the facts.

Interesting, now TVG says Shirreffs contradicts earlier report and nothing has been decided.

things you omitted

RA had a longer campaign and was done before the BC Plastic
RA had a chance to show up but not 100% Assmussen doesn't have 'em ready to fire off the bench.

ducking Zenyatta or synthetics

Zenyatta has flown to Churchill before
why does the flight matter now?

Can't wait for all of Jess "The Great Sportsman" Jackson's press conferences going forward. I'm sure he'll pick the ideal spots and times for Zenyatta to race...he'll map out a plan for John Shirreffs and the Mosses.

It's a Zenyatta camp mind trick so she can show up at the last minute and Jackson wont have a chance to scratch.

This pretty much sums up my opinion -

Pretty much sums up my opinion on the issue.

http://www.wkyt.com/blogs/trackside/92083084.html

Sorry to see in today's Daily Racing Form that Zenyatta will run in the Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park in her next start rather than come to Churchill Downs and challenge the boys in the Stephen Foster.

Both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta were deserving candidates for Horse of the Year in 2009, but to me, the scales tipped in Rachel's favor because she took the path of least resistance less often, shipping around the country, racing against males three times and the last being against older males. To put it in basketball terms, Rachel scored her biggest wins on the road while Zenyatta's came at home.

If the owners of Zenyatta--who are to be saluted for keeping her in training by the way--want her to get her full due, then they need to take their chances on a few more tough road games this year.

You're right. You can't change the fact that Rachel Alexandra is the reigning Horse of the Year.

There is no reason for them to announce that they are running in the Vanity this far out. They could have at least waited to see what happens at Churchill this weekend before squelching any Foster talk.
