Why in the world would Tim Ice give Rachel a try unless she went in the Classic and he had no other option? He knows he can beat the colts that are around, save the better conditioned Quality Road who might be better suited for 9's? What's Ice's risk facing colts vs. facing a filly that has trounced him. You think coming in second works for the Travers/Belmont winner? Summers Bird is colt by a hard to figure hot stallion. He is a really nice looking colt that even in a depressed breeding market is destined for stud duty, why the heck would you risk that windfall? Think about this.. what would you do? Go beat Mine that Bird and Chartiman Man or come in second to Rachel?
