Don't know about that, Princess

RA fans have been awfully quiet so far this year

Think a lot of the weasels bailed after RA got ambushed by that synthetic-to-dirt goin' little z back in March...

Whatever you say Mr. Smooth. But, In my unapologetic opinion, true Rachel fans will remain her fans through thick and thin, and there still is no room on the bandwagon.

She only needs one more race (and a couple nice long drills after that) before the BCC

That formula worked out okay last year, eh, Sparky?


As myself and others have said on here before … there is no reason to stick her in a 10f contest now.

The Pac Classic is too far out from the BC to serve as her final prep, in my estimation.

If Shirreffs put her in there … then ran her back in the Lady's Secret … he'd run the risk of emptying the tank too much before the big one.

Not to mention the fact that another win at Del Mar would do little to silence the nitwits who claim she's just a synthetic specialist.

But an unprecedented (first 6yo and first horse to win on different surfaces) win in the BCC will make them look like monkeys peeing into the wind when they try to diminish her greatness.


So you see … it's ALL about getting her to the BCC in the best possible condition at this point.

Never take your eye off the ball

John clearly understands that...

This is like reading a vagina's opinion if a vagina had the ability to type.
