Watching Rachel made me forget about what a horrible day it actually was. This is the one day a year that Monmouth actually has quality races/horses thoughout the card. Then of course the rains came. Off the turf and staring at 3 horse fields. Even worse a couple of horses went down in back to back races. I hope everyone is alright, one jock (I thought it was Channing Hill, but I could be wrong) was down for what seemed like an eternity before being loaded into the ambulance. All this and we haven't even got into the wagering bloodbath between there and Saratoga. But eventually the sun came out and Rachel dazzeled. Her performance truely turned it into a very nice day for me and made me happy that I attended.
