I can not believe one vote went to Zenyatta for HOY. She's not even the best mare Mike Smith has ever ridden. That goes to Azeri. I am by no means a Zenyatta hater, she is great but she has to leave California and get some wins on dirt in 2010. She doesn't have to beat Rachel or even face her. Her trainer needs to take the safety blanket off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-38705461581147132572010-01-18T16:45:18.438-06:002010-01-18T16:45:18.438-06:00"I'm betting that they will meet at Oakla..."I'm betting that they will meet at Oaklawn Park in the Apple Blossom first."<br /><br />This is what I am hoping for! Forget The Donn, I think I'm going to hold out on the chance that my first visit to a race track will be to see teh RA-Z showdown!<br /><br />There is a part of me that is annoyed that the Mosses chose this weekend to make this announcement. I'm sure they have also heard rumors that RA won and it seems like a cheap attempt to overshadow her HOTY victory.Sarah Gricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052334092664089641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-91327771894504396712010-01-17T23:26:13.914-06:002010-01-17T23:26:13.914-06:00Incredible news, and it promising great things for...Incredible news, and it promising great things for this year of racing. If and when they do meet up it will be one of the most anticipated races in history.<br />I agree that Rachel is frontrunner for Horse of the Year. I wonder what the big picture will look like come Breeders' Cup time this year. I can only imagine the line-up if Rachel and Zenyatta go in the Classic.<br />I'm betting that they will meet at Oaklawn Park in the Apple Blossom first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-13840947343172180222010-01-17T21:06:14.454-06:002010-01-17T21:06:14.454-06:00Sorry, I do not want to say anything more other th...Sorry, I do not want to say anything more other than I believe my information to be quite reliable.Brian Zipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592017304873334271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-42752222079822312052010-01-17T20:16:23.728-06:002010-01-17T20:16:23.728-06:00Can you elaborate on what other information?

I'm not disputing at all (I've always thought Rachel deserves the honor, despite the fact I think Zenyatta probably would have won in a head to head match-up, if only because she's a 5yo facing a 3yo), just wondering how you determined this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-72638937808925917422010-01-17T15:45:27.647-06:002010-01-17T15:45:27.647-06:00I, for one, hope that Z and RA go at it more than ...I, for one, hope that Z and RA go at it more than once this year. That way Zen can prove that she is the greatest horse in the U.S., maybe even the world if she goes to the Dubai World Cup, which may be unlikely but still a possibility.

This will no doubt be a year that racing will never forget, it will live on through the ages, and I for one am glad to be a part of it.NetworkEmpowermenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053022764177401200noreply@blogger.com
