Rachel is 1/3, losing to 2 horses who both came back to get beat. Right now Z is way way way ahead as far as Older Filly N Mare championship.

Pumpkin, they vote at the end of the year. I don't give a flying clod of dirt who's "ahead" right now unless it's the big prize cuz I just don't care to waste brain cells on it. My point was everyone's obsessed about HOY and they don't even think that you could have a situation where *gasp* Zenyatta only gets Older Mare and the reigning HOY gets nothing, or Rachel soars to her old self and Zenyatta's return (following her not getting HOY for 2009) not only doesn't gain her the big prize, she doesn't get squat. I'm saying there's a result neither's connections seem to be aware of. They seem to be thinking that of course the big thing is HOY and their horse will get that and older mare both. Coming up empty isn't on their radar from what I can tell.
RA's just now getting herself in gear. She's perfectly capable of earning an Eclipse with sterling performances the rest of the year. There are prizes to be had in the fall that would make everybody go 'New Orleans Ladies what now?'
