no, they're just trying to save the filly, and racing, from themselves. ouija board has no idea how lucky she is, that she escaped death so many times.

i wonder if anyone has stats out there to show if there's a different percentage of injuries when fillies race colts vs racing other fillies. it would be nice to have proof that it's not any riskier to race vs the opposite sex than vs females.

You have to love racing, buy a horse for 10 million, and you cant run her because they are going to run a bunch of dogs due to crazy rules keeping the best horse out of the race.

Seriously, it would be tough to make this stuff up. Gotta love the sport..err game that this is.

May not be any super colts (or 'roid-fueled freaks like Curlin or Big Brownroid) in this year's Preakness field ... but it's still gunna be a big class jump for the filly.

BIG difference going from smallish fields of overmatched fillies to a full field of males ... and in a longer contest, no less.

Not sayin she doesn't have a shot to win the race ... just that there could be a big jump in injury risk too.



By the way, the last filly to run in the Preakness, Baffy's Excellent Meeting in '99, pulled up and didn't finish the contest...

so? that's one horse. now tell me how every other filly who entered over the years did? fillies run past 1 3/16 fairly often. i doubt rachel will fold like a cheap tent when/if she makes the attempt.
i just want to see her get to try. if she can't do it, we'll know.

I don't know if there is, but sometime around Rags' Belmont I read a really interesting article about the physiological advantages of colts vs. fillies. I wish I could remember where I saw it and post the link, but I remember the thrust of the article being that there was no real advantage for colts at short distances (six furlongs and less) and at long ones (past a mile and a quarter) but that the males had an advantage for the middle distances, with the advantage peaking at a mile and a quarter.

I looked for the article, but no luck so far. However, I did find this, ahem, very "interesting" look at Rags' Belmont victory from a Biblical standpoint.

http://www.biblenews1.com/history7/20070609filly.htm

Apparently Christians aren't getting enough sodium in their diets and Rags to Riches is the Whore of Babylon. Or something like that. I was a little confused by the end of the article.

I'm more than a little confused by that "article".

This article is unreal. I wonder if he does picks like the wizard, or gods picks, or something like that.

lol
what an article...


"The victory of the filly in the Belmont Stakes symbolizes the US military with females in the ranks in the Iraq War. The women may be very brave, but they do not belong in combat. The demasculinizing of US society is due to the rise of the Prostitute of Babylon, which is the result of the lack of salt in Christians in the Church."

yeah, we get it. females are inferior, when they accomplish anything-it's always the beginning of the end.

This is better than most explanations that have been trying to explain Mine That Bird's victory.

Is the infamous ROSSTABBERT behind this organization?
