Rachel Alexandra Retired

[Indian Charlie]

I predict that RA will continue to have workouts and be brought out of retirement for the BC.

Or to race again next year.

She really wants to keep racing.

Would be nice. She didn't run a bad step all year. Gutted those who beat her too.

Actually I talked to her new life coach and she's been incredibly stressed out the past few months. She's wanting to move on to a far less stressful life of getting railed a few times a year and eating the finest hay and drinking the distillest of the illest water.

She told me personally that she's got the hots for Curlin and has been dying to get at him since she won horse of the year.

As long as they don't get her to make a macaroni necklace. She's probably gonna try to eat that. Can't be good for the digestion.

I have to admit: I chuckled at this.

More from Scott Blasi:

Blasi said there is nothing wrong with Rachel physically. After she had a bullet work of 48.45 seconds for four furlongs on Monday, some eyebrows were raised when she was retired from the game on Tuesday.

"She is healthy, she is good, she is happy," Blasi said.

He also said that she was prepared to run in Saturday's $350,000 Grade I Beldame at Belmont Park if that was the way Jackson wanted to go.

Classy guy thanks for posting.
Guess the question now has to be if he owned her would she have been a TC winner?

I would bet that they couldn't look Jess Jackson in the eye and tell him that his Filly was going to win the Beldame.
