If she shows up at SA in the Classic or Belmont for the JCGC, I suspect alot people will start to see the light.

One thing we do know, the connections are sporting and not scared to showcase their horse anywhere, anytime. Even on a foreign surface.

I'm not saying Summer Bird isnt capable of beating Rachel in a rematch, if one was to take place, but do you really think a rematch will happen? What more does rachel have to prove? If she wins this weekend, she will have dominated 3 year old fillies, 3 year old males (twice) and older males (given a likely romp in the Woodward). The only thing left for her to take on is older fillies and mares. Why on earth would her connections entertain the idea of the Jockey Club when all it would be is a collection of who she has already beaten?

I agree on one point, Jess Jackson will not risk RA's reputation unless a horse can threaten her for HOY. Whether one agrees with the BC format or not, it was designed for determining year end honors and historically more times than not it has.

I also dont think its a given that Summer Bird is just going to win easily again, this time in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. I will take a shot he gets beat by an older horse in this spot.

No it isn't but I really have a good feeling of him at Belmont if the JCGC is his target and it would make the most sense, we know he likes the track and 1 1/4.

Yeah, no problem. First time someone did the FTFY on me, I thought it was something like "Fugg T---, Fugg You"

It really means though Fixed That For You.

fixed that for you.

Buffalo Wild Wings is introducing a new wings sauce called Zenyatta. It starts off bland but finishes with a zesty kick that will make your taste buds explode.
