Depends on how "light" it comes up

Just so ya know.. I like them both..If they were to race one another I would not be unhappy if one beat the other.. they are both great mares. However, I would like to see Zen face a bit tougher than she has.

I do not dislike Rachel Alexandra, but at present I doubt her.

I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I'm putting up between $50 and $100 on exotics banking on she does not win this race, and perhaps runs 3rd or back.

I've been streaking pretty good in 2010, and this will be my only play for tomorrow. Fun money.

If I lose, I'll still be happy that Rachel Alexandra wins.


So I win, regardless.


I like it.

It would take a serious injury, a DQ, or Borel to fall off for her to finish 3rd or worse.

I think it would take one of those instances for her to lose obviously

i would save that fun money...and bet against her when she runs back in saratoga.....she will be over bet as usual and will probably lose here because it will be real competition.

Anybody betting against Rachel Alexandra today clearly has money to waste or needs a hobby. I'm still doubting whether they'll even race today - just finished yard work outside (I have a very small yard), and already had to change a shirt.

Not impressed. Just retire her, Jessica.

I like it.


Owning up, I put my $$ where my mouth was and lost.

I had the 2-3-7/2-3-7/all/all super for $120.

My only play of the day, and I was a loser.

That doesn't happen often.

I'm way ahead for gambling on the year, I thought I saw an angle for a shot today with a nice payoff and took it.

And lost.


Heck, it wasn't a great bet, but maybe arguably better odds than a lottery ticket.

No regrets.




I'm very happy that the Rachel Alexandra mystique continues.

Yesterday wasn't the day to try and beat her. The other girls in the race were slow and not really showing signs of improving.

R.A. did have alook that she was working a job that she doesnt like. I think you can beat her in the near future.
