According to Jay Privman, if more than 14 enter the Preakness and Rachel supliments, she might not get in. The preakness isnt as simple as the 14 highest graded earning. Look at his drf article yesterday.

The derby would've been the same way. Horse nominated to The TC have first preference.

If I was Baffert and was going to run POTN I would have Mr. Zayat enter a rabbit that was nominated to the TC just to keep RA out. This would give my horse the best chance to win the race.

What would you guys do?

I think it would be a BIG TIME pus$y move to enter horses with no chance to keep a GIRL out of the race!!!

I think if an owner does it he deserves to be made fun of for the rest of their life... doesnt even matter if Rachel Alexandra is the best horse.

I think that as long as RA's connections are a "go", there will be a spot for her.

The way I understand it once suplimented it is an even playing field and graded earnings is the only requirement.

you guys are taking the rules all too literally ;)

guaranteed, $omeone will back out ju$T to let her run

Heard on TVG Today that Zayat is considering entering additional horses to RA Out.

Apparently he has 22 horses that were nominated to the TC and would have preference over RA.

For the record I agree with Antitrust and would also add that it isn't a very "sportsman like" move but I wouldn't hold it against Zayat as the primarily hurts Jackson. I can already see Jackson's saying how he was only trying to help the sport by running her, like when he campaigned Curlin (Like he had a choice after his 3 yo year with his partners in prison.)

Should at least prove for an interesting early part of the week.

It doesn't really "hurt" Jackson as he still has the best 3yo filly in the country and has tons of spots open to her.

Zayat could enter enough (and then scratch) to keep her out. If original moninees are entered they get preference over a supplemental. It would be a crappy move but it's not out of the question.
