When she drills Rachel Alexandra they will blame something or someone. When she wins the BC Classic this year, people will still find something comedy to say. Its a tiresome argument.

After 18 starts we shouldn't need IMO's. She needs to ship OR run against better horses where she is at. If they won't run against the dreck that is the older male division in CA then she needs to PROVE that she can beat the older, less dreadful horses in the East or at the very least take on RA.
And we aren't talking about "people" we are talking about a horse that we are supposed to believe is an all-time great.
The reason that people are finding something comedy to say is that the connections have plotted a comedy schedule and want everyone to believe that it isn't. The sport used to be played on the track, not in the popular opinion polls. If she had shipped east and beaten RA or won the Whitney field, the comdeyness that you talk about would have been over.
