for me her real excuses would be.. taken real wide by a jockey around a turn on purpose - Genuine Risk Preakness type stuff - being boxed in with no chance - Touch Gold Preakness & Kittens Joy BC Turf type stuff - horses bump the hell outta her - or her dumb jockey starts celebrating and falls off before the wire.
Those are her only excuses in my opinion.

I was just stating what I consider a fair race to be. The horses that are really good and great are the ones that can overcome a race that may be biased against their style and still win. Rachel has proven she can do that twice already.
