Zenyatta's Future
I definitely want Zenyatta to race next year, given that she is healthy and up to the task.
When will we know the Mosses' decision on it? Do you think they will retire her tomorrow? If they did race her next year, should she race against males on dirt?
Should she retire? What would you do?
As much as I want to see it, my gut says they will probably retire her. I dont think the Mosses want Zen to lose anymore. They were very protective of how record and that was without a loss!
You just hate to see a horse like her go out on a bitter (my feelings!) loss.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't waffle like last year. 
They're probably mulling over:
"Will we get extra HOY votes if we say Zenyatta will race next year?"
"Or should we announce a retirement now,
and (if needed) plan a comeback tour after the Eclipse Awards are done?"

If she's healthy and wants to run,they should run her.
I'd do the same thing as this year,smack around the so. cali.filly's then go to the BCC.It only missed by a head.Might work next year.

I see them retiring her but the reality is her appearance fees would be worth more than breeding... the nose defeat is going to but a deflating end to her movie. They better bring her back in Dubai so we can get the happy ending.

I think Zenyatta of '08 and '09 would've got there today. Zenyatta of '10 just missed. Zenyatta next year... guess where I'm going with this.

I'd race her outside of cali. If they want HOTY, they need to race males in other states.
She's proven, again and again, she can beat the girls. She needs to face the boys now.
But i dont know if the mosses are willing to do such a "risky" thing.

she turns 7 next year, it's going to be even tougher to beat the top 3 and 4 year old males. I think a return is doubtful.

That's it...i def. want that happy ending and i dont want her to retire like this.
I am assuming that is what the mosses and family are thinking about too.
You get spoiled after 19 straight wins. You dont like the sting of a loss. But, what will they do about it?
I am anxious to see.

Yeah, that's true. Although she did mature later, at almost 4, so maybe she's got one more year in her!

Anyone else notice that zenyatta's stride just wasn't there like on synthetics?
If this was run on her favored turf, maybe she wins it.

Let her retire, don't let her do what too many of us do, chase our losses.

I don't see them shipping her to Dubai... they said the trip over the Rockies was to much. If they keep running in Cali they will be limited to Del Mar and Hollywood as SA is going back to Dirt and we seen she don't like dirt getting kicked in her face. So I say they walk of into the Sunset as they head toward the shed. Wonder how much they will have to pay for Blame's services.
