Rachel Alexandra sale pending; Preakness possible?

Rachel Alexandra to the Preakness?
 
http://www.drf.com/news/article/103544.html

A transfer of Rachel Alexandra would raise the possibility of the filly being supplemented for a $100,000 fee to the next jewel of the Triple Crown, the May 16 Preakness at Pimlico. The filly was not nominated to the Triple Crown, and her breeder and co-owner, Dolph Morrison, was adamant in the wake of her Oaks victory that she would not be supplemented to the Preakness or June 6 Belmont Stakes.

That would be pretty crappy.

I'm sorry but it would be way more fun to root for her while being trained by Wiggins and not the ASSMAN! :(

good for the connections though... I bet the money is real nice, for a FILLY! (i'd sell her probably)

TVG reporting that Jess Jackson is negotiating to buy her for 10 million.

10 million reasons

I am ready to puke.

Assmuffin--Jesus.

I don't begrudge anyone cashing out per se, but I don't have to like the result afterward. And I won't, if this hold up.

WOW.... I'd go to the barn... give her a big hug and kisses... maybe some carrots and peppermints... pet her for like 10 minutes and say THANKS GIRL!!! then get the lead rope...


10 million for a FILLY... unreal... especially in this market.

I just wish they would keep her with Wiggins..

TheSpyder 05-06-2009 04:31 PM

Don't they make more holding on to her and racing for a year & then selling?

No chance. Sell now.

She is a special special filly. I almost couldn't believe my eyes last Friday- but $10 million is a LOT of money, more than any filly has ever sold for as far as I know.
