Not really, your title's now usurping my thread since it's been folded into it. Kind of annoying. I was like 'I never started a thread about RtR going to the Belmont.' Then I figured out what happened. Not that I wouldn't get a serious kick if she did because I've been a big fan for months but if I want to wax equus about Slew's Tizzy going, kind of an off topic title to post under ain't it? Should've just kept my title too and blended the threads since mine was more broad ("Who's going to the Belmont"?)
On the topic of RtR, playing Monday morning quarterback here, would you have expected Rags to Riches to do better in the Derby or Preakness than Circular Quay? In retrospect, not assuming you were making the decision before the race I mean. I think it's one thing to go 'oh I already have a horse in the race' but if you feel you have a horse capable of running well in the Derby I honestly don't think you should do it this way. What if they'd decided 'hey we don't need Citation, we have Coaltown plus Eddie Arcaro thinks Coaltown's better anyway.' Or if they didn't use Sir Barton as a rabbit after all. I think RtR's earned a chance to face the boys most certainly and I'd argue in a TC race no less. What would be hilarious is if she won the same race as her half brother. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's never happened where the Oaks winner also takes a Classic race has it? I honestly don't remember it so I'm assuming it's an oldie goldie if it's happened.
