Rachel Alexandra (116 Beyer for Haskell)

I hope she blows off the BC Cup.. They have no business running at SA back to back.. They should let the Euro's come and blow away all the crap that we have here for Poly/Pro Ride. Save Zenyatta who cares how well Dry friggin Martini runs in the BC Classic. I am looking more forward to the BC jumps in Far Hills in October then I am the friggin 2 year old turf race... Seriously a 2 year old turf championship race.. Bob has there been a two year old significant turf race in the US this year yet? It's August

If someone was smart at NYRA they would hook a big time sponsor for 3mil race and get Zenyatta and Rachel together..maybe even throw in a few colt slugs to fill the field. race it at Belmont in late Sept. and make the BC an afterthought.. Obviously the NTRA would punish NYRA and the next time they got the BC would be 2000 and dead.

Screw the NTRA. Screw the BC. I love this idea. Only they should do it on BC Day. Get the Dubai people involved.

The BC should be moved permanently to Churchill. It is a neutral site as far as the East Coast-West Coast rivalry goes, has good surfaces, the Euros like the weather, and the facility can handle the crowds.

My greyhound could beat most two year old turf horses..understood..it's a different timeline than "dirt" horses for the most part. But there are better ways to take a stand against the BC and Poly than let your sport's biggest star boycott a race..that's all I'm saying.

My only 2 cents to add on this thread is that I will always remember Rags2Riches beating the guys.

Bring on a great matchup gal versus guys - LOVE it! Must add it will / should be great for the sport

It would suck..She is a huge star and she is on the raise.. Isn't it the Moss's responsiblity to get her(Zenyatta) out of California. Enough already. She is a huge star as well. These people have made millions in the game. I might add they have given back on coutless ocassions. They are charitable people who care about the sport. Hence, get your friggin mare on a plane and race her on dirt again against Rachel. IF they do that, then I would hope Jess jackson would see fit to go to the BC and challenge her on her home turf/poly..
