They better hope that check clears before Robbie gets aboard her.

ya think even that troothless pinhead knows which horse is the fastest

I'd say it's a good chance Gales could be WHIP under a different handle for this baord.

Why is Jess Jackson buying Rachel Alexandra so bad, especially if he's gonna do exactly what MOST racing fans want, to run her against males?

I agree...

“We are tremendously excited by the prospect of one day seeing the offspring of Curlin and Rachel Alexandra,” said Jackson. “But for now, the story of this filly is still being written. My four daughters and granddaughter will be delighted this super filly will race in our colors.”

I think he truly does want to see her race. As to Bo-rail, I don't think he'll initially lose the mount because the PR would be too bad. And that is why I'd bet Mine that Bird scratches out of whatever race she goes in.

BTW that 2nd period was brutal.

i did. work's been brutal, so not much in the way of extra-curricular. tonite is the first in this series i've seen the opening faceoff.
1:50 left in the third...backstrom! lol so much for going to bed early to catch up on some sleep.

Just a terrible penalty to take there by Dupuis.
Sorry didn't mean to hijack to thread.
Back to why Gales thinks Borel will ride Mine that Bird.

it happens...it was almost as bad as malkin on the trip in game 2. pengooins have to be getting disheartened that they can't put the caps away at home. varlamov has been otherworldly.


i want to know why he's so sure borel won't get the mount if she's in the preakness. they fit together-why eff it up?

Has a Derby winning jock ever opted off the horse he won the Derby with to ride another in either the Belmont or the Preakness?

Caps haven't been able to buy a call .......DAMN ITS OVER.
