Hopefully Rachel wins by 20 and since the Z camp won commit to Del Mar maybe serious talks about the Personal Ensign will heat up, especially with the detention barn being gone now. The same connections had a bad time with Giacomo in the detention barn, a few years back in the Belmont.
Looks like Rachel is trying on the fields Z has run against most of her career. Can not blame the connections one bit as the ultimate goal is the 1st Friday in November. Now hopefully Z shows up.

Why would Z ever show up Friday? She needs to be defending her title on Saturday.
Please stop saying Scat Outm PLEASE.

Zenyatta has never run against as lame a field as this, as a matter of fact the Rockies may just be faster than this field, this is a ridiculously pathetic field for Rachel to be racing, like the Lakers playing Arcadia High School. It's a compete joke and a waste of her talent, I could care less to even watch this race, it's that embarassing.

The Santa Margarita field was just as lame in my opinion, no matter if it had a G1 title

What about the Apple Blossom field this year?

The horse who finished 2nd was beaten in a small overnight stakes race at Delaware Park next out. The horse who finished 3rd was beaten about 25 lengths in a Grade 2 at Churchill next out.

I thought Just Jenda was okay at the time since she had a couple of G3s, although admittedly she got beaten in an ungraded stake at Monmouth in her last start. I agree the other 3 fillies were lousy.

They were lousy, so why was Rachel not there?

I think JJ couldn't take the criticism of losing that first race and let the media play into his head that Rachel wasn't the same.

I agree that she should have been there though and his hurt ego should be no excuse.

Just Jenda would be 1-9 against this field if no Rachel, at least she is a recent stakes winner, these others are frigging claimers.

According to some, facing that type over and over is befitting of a HOY campaign, so here's a toast to Rachel repeating in 2010!!!!!

No she wouldn't.

She'd be no shorter than 9/5.
