who is a real threat to RA?

big drama

She sure looks invincible. What if she had run in the derby? Would she have been 8/5?

While I expect she will win..She has been racing against and beating some suspect stock.. While this class of colts is absent its most talented colts they still are colts and several are grade 1 winners.. Mind you Rachel has only won 1 grade 1 against complete dog biscuits..

Potn Or Ff Or Mm Or Ou812 Or My Fat F.uckin Fingers Get Tired So I Abbreviate Every F.ucking Horse Name.

Is it possible for the field to pull "the old Smarty Jones" on her to get her beat? Big Drama goes out fast to see if she will chase. FF, Gen Quarters, et al stalk and run at her in the middle. POTN, MTB and others try to beat her on the wire. If they can gang up on her and make her run every step of the way, maybe one of them can get past her at the wire....I guess I'm just not anxious to take 8/5 or less on a filly with a big target on her back.

Hard to believe that the colts in the race are going to gang up on a filly. I suspect, if they take a liking to her, that most are going to want to follow her around the track.

if they go 47 and change she has a shot below 47 1st 1/2 she's done. look @ her pp over 1mile, I think POTN will move forward on a fast track with MTB and General Quarters plc/shw. if a bettor has some money they can afford to lose and risk with high rewards this is a good time to pitch her and bet against. too many factors against a low odds filly in with colts, can she win yes, will she win i doubt it. good-luck to all ps. i picked curlin to beat RTR lol...

If she rates into the pace big drama sets, everyone is running for second

So where does that leave Mine That Bird?

I think the key moment of today's race is when Rachel Alexandra pops the question and makes her move on Big Drama, if BD makes her work to get by I would think POTN or MTB will have a target to run at. I don't like BD's chances of lasting 1 3/16ths but he could make it tough for RA today, thus he is a big player as was Join the Dance was in the derby.

Let me save everyone money and give a simple tip. GENERAL QUARTERS IS NOT A GOOD HORSE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND PLACE IT ELSE WHERE, THE HORSE WILL NOT HIT THE BOARD. GUARANTEED!!!
