RA = east coast version of Peppers Pride.

You're right, I wish RA was owned by Jerry Moss. It would have been scintillating all summer to see her win the Acorn by 20, the Mother Goose by 20, the CCA Oaks by potentially 40 lengths and then the Alabama. Who needs a horse who takes on all different rivals, beats them at their game all the while showing unprecedented speed, courage, and tenacity?

I'd much prefer a horse who faces absolute nobodies all year in a virtually identical campaign to the one they had the prior year.

Fault Rachel Alexandra for having a trainer with a spotty record or an owner who didn't breed her (as if that's a problem) but IMO if you really believe what you posted above you are the type of person that makes this game still playable, provided you bet with the same horrendous opinions.
