I don't think Rachel would have finished ahead of Icon Project or CJ this weekend in the 10f Beldame and her connections know it. There really was no excuse to not run her this weekend. It is a dirt race. Fans want to see the best against the best and clearly Icon Project is the best 10f dirt animal in the country. Rachel's connections did racing no favors by ending her racing season before the best racing begins.

i kind of agree about the rachel part. her daddy was good at 10f. they seem to not want to run her 10f. after the preakness i can see why. shes a great horse no doubt. but shes not the icon some make her out to be. she was in trouble in the woodward and still won ,like a good horse should. my guess is that took alot out of her and she would not be ready this weekend. even if she runs again i don't think she will ever take on the boys at 10 f. and the way that horse looked at saratoga the girls would be no cinch either.
