My guess is that Zenyatta's owners will skip Filly Friday at the Breeders' Cup, do the right thing and run her on the Saturday against the boys in the Breeders' Cup Classic. It's the right thing because a potential Horse of the Year title is worth more than an undefeated record at retirement. Read More

 

What the Nation is saying about Forget About Filly Friday...

I couldn't agree more with this article. Turns out he hit it right on the button with Sea the Stars, he's now retired. As for Zenyatta, I agree, HOY honors is worth more than being undefeated. If she wins the Classic then comes the question: Which is worth more, 3 wins against the boys or a win in the Classic? A win in the Classic would have to make even the most avid Rachael fan pause and re-think. Rachael is 8-0 this year, Zenyatta is 13-0 forever. Will Rachael Alexandra's mistake of not turning up for the Breeder's Cup Classic come back to haunt her? Time will tell.
