They are being nice and showing respect for the race, unlike the owner of Rachel Alexandra. They have no intention of coming, just like Rachel had no intention of running in it. The difference is his owners have class and don't want to belittle the Classic and the eventual winner. Rachel's owner showed no class by constantly trying to belittle the race as if he not running in the BC somehow made it no importance. I guess that was part political for the HOY voting but it also was classless. The winner of the Classic or Ladies Classic will have to be a very good horse this year.
