quote........John Shirreffs and owner Arnold Zetcher said Friday that Zardana will skip the Apple Blossom on April 9 and point instead for the Grade 2 La Troienne Stakes on April 30 at Churchill Downs. Zardana "could use a little time off," Zetcher said. He and Shirreffs also believe the 1 1/16-mile distance of the La Troienne suits Zardana more than the 1 1/8-mile Apple Blossom. Zardana, who earned a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 101 last out, has won 8 of 19.
The La Troienne could feature a rematch between Zardana and Rachel Alexandra.
