Rachel Alexandra-Zenyatta set for Apple Blossom confrontation

[Indian Charlie]

Which is the most likely scenario:

1. RA backs out.
2. Zen backs out.
3. They both run.

I'm going with 10% on RA backing out.
45% on each of the other two possibilities.

Not sure how you run a short horse especially if it is the reigning HOY but that's what we got folks from team Asmussen yesterday. I for one am not convinced that what I saw yesterday was a short horse or a horse that may not get back to the level of performance we saw last year.

Rachel was just plain average at best yesterday and at 1-9 and should have easily defeated this bunch if she was short, missing one leg, etc.... Forget the Apple Blossom fans,,,you need to wonder now if you saw Rachel for the last time yesterday.

Maybe she was a bit short yesterday, but it might turn out that Zardana isn't a plug either. She might be a horse that just wants to run on the dirt. But some credit should be given to her and her connections, even if Shirreffs just sent her their to be a fly in the ointment.
