Why don't they just put the poor horsey in a retirement home?

At least RA's connections moved out of their comfort zone and ran RA at a distance that wasn't going to be her best. They could have run her in the Molly Pitcher instead and then pointed for the Beldame.

I've been pretty busy today.


I guess from reading here that Rachel Alexandra did not win in a short field that most here seemed to think was a walkover?

The winner paid $45?


For anyone who played exactas with the field with Rachel on the bottom, the $8 wager returned $94.00?



NEVER would have guessed that Rachel Alexandra would hit the board in a five horse field and still the trifecta would pay $228.


Now I have a better understanding of how Chicago/Arkansas/Bill's Wife Hillary Clinton became a US Senator from New York.

So let's see, you know nothing about the race, but you still think it appropriate to deride everyone who didn't see the obvious $45 winner that had a career top BSF of 85 and hadn't developed a step since 2008. Even for a redboarder, that's lame.

Actually I guess I'm just PO'd at myself.

I tried to beat Rachel with my plays in her prior race.

Yesterday an $18 tri box with Rachel and the field returned $228.

$16 exacta boxes with Rachel and the field returned $94.

I find it freaking amazing that the exotic wagers were so top loaded.

And po'd I missed it.
