Rags To Riches to Belmont?

[Bobby Fischer]

bloodstock gamesmanship

The "thing to do" with Rags to Riches is to throw her name around in the triple crown races, but not actually enter her.

For what purpose?

hi everyone, just got home a few minutes ago--we went to lake ouachita for the wknd, so all i know about the preakness so far is how everyone finished. probably will watch later, looks like a missed a good one.

as for hard spun, just saw on bloodhorse that he is being pointed to the belmont.
also saw on there that sightseeing won a close one in the pan, i guess the belmont is on tap for him.
curlin is 'weary'.

Its all about hyping the horse. The more hype, the more demand there is for the horse. The stock goes up. This is a Tabor horse.

If they were to actually run her she would prove to be inferior to the top males and possibly set her back from prepping toward the major goals she is pointed towards.

It is a filly. What's to hype?
Why would it set her back?

As a fan I would love to see her run.

I would much rather see Curlin, Street Sense And Hard Spun not race in the Belmont. The mile and a half is not the right venue to carry on this rivalry. Racing would be better served by them continuing their rivalry as fresh horses tn the Travers

I was astonished to hear that Hard Spun was going to run in the Belmont. I would be really surprised if SS goes. And I still have my doubts that Curlin will go.

Why isn't the Belmont the best place to continue this rivalry? It's one of the three most watched races by the public - even without a Triple Crown on the line - and I guarantee you average folks might tune in simply because of the presence of these three. I hope all three make it there and I hope Hard Spun wins.
