Title: Any rumors about Zenyatta running again?
Post by: Dana666 on November 10, 2010, 06:03:10 PM
I heard some scuttlebutt that she may not be retired. You\'d have to think she\'d have a lot of options if her connections wanted to race her one more or many more times. Smith is hinting that if he had anything to say about it, he would like her to keep racing. The Dubai World Cup kind of jumps off the page if they were to keep her in training. . .even the Big Cap. . .personally, I\'d like to see her go out a winner - what\'s the point of retiring her? I wouldn\'t mind a Zenyatta world tour - why not the 2011 Melbourne Cup while we\'re at it??? 2 miles on grass should be right up her ally, no? Then she can drop 50 lengths off the pace for the first half mile!

There was a report on the Racing Post site that there hasn\'t been a decision yet.  Who knows.

I say they should create a special race for her , 10 million pot, and call it the \'Sekrah Invitational\'

I\'d be surprised if she\'s not back on the track again.

Me, too. They have nothing to lose now. No HOY or unbeaten streak to worry about. Go out and have some fun w/ the great mare. She proved she can hack it with the best males on dirt even, so why the hell not?

We will see how the human connections of Zen -- the Mosses and Shirreffs -- react
to getting \"Blamed\" for costing Zen HOY by virtue of their conservative (no
shipping and no racing v males) campaign. (See Jerry Bossert\'s column in
yesterday\'s Daily News).
