They both seem to be coming into top form now, which is how I'd like to see them square off. So let's go ... next time out.

I hope no top horse ever ships out west ever again, just so that garbage isn't validated as a proving ground. The dirt is where champions still prove their mettle, like it or not.

You know what??? phuck it at this point. The Mosses are pussie, they are not coming across country, not even for the Classic. You're right Jackson really has nothing to lose at this point with Rachel. I say point Rachel towards the Pacific Classic, call Zenyatta out and take her out on her own track. And while shes at it take out all the top males on the used rubbers also. If she gets beat so what, its not her preferred surface and they can goat Zen to come to the Breeders cup and settle it once and for all on a conventional dirt surface in the Breeders cup, either it be the Classic or the distaff. This really isnt a half bad idea

now, wouldn't it be nice if rachel and zenyatta showed up? won't happen, but it would be one hell of a race if they did!!

Dont you think that someone should try to sponser this thing? With Blame and QR already going, and even though he sucks last years Derby winner, I think if they got a sponser and made this $5 million it could be race of the decade.
