I think there are a lot of very good points being made on both sides of the issue. Personally, it bothers me that people keep ripping on the Mosses for not shipping or taking on the best boys or whatever. I mean, she DID win the BC Classic. She DID go to Oaklawn twice. And she was willing to take on Rachel. Has it been the most daring career in history? Of course not. But maybe the Mosses just like having an undefeated horse who has amassed a bunch of Grade I wins while really never ducking anyone in the traditional sense of the word. Maybe they are enjoying themselves and the ride that Zenyatta is giving them, and they get some kind of satisfaction out of seeing a goose egg in the loss column. Who cares if they are hoping to retire her undefeated? I'm sure they've pumped a bunch of money into the sport over the years, and I don't think they owe anyone anything. If people wanted to challenge her, they knew where to find her at the BC last year. And they'll probably be able to find her at the Classic this year.
Also, no way she would have beaten Azeri on dirt at 8.5 furlongs.
