Do you think they'll attempt to break the Donner Party's trans-Rockies record? I doubt it, but maybe I'll have to eat my heart out if she shows up out of town before the BC.

Oh, and don't forget the air quality in the greater Los Angeles area. That's gotta be a real life-drainer.

Forget Grade 1 races, Zenyatta's proving she's great just by standing in her stall.

I don't embrace it, I wish she shipped in for the Foster. Whether she ships now in the summer or in the autumn it doesn't matter to me as long as she is at the BC Classic in good form. I do see a logic in acclimating her in the east prior to the BC at either Keeneland or Belmont Park, and this may make more sense to connections in keeping her fresh rather than making one extra trip out east. It all comes out the same, if this is the case.
