Curlin/Rachel Alexandra

Jess Jackson maybe, but I would venture to say that as long as Barbara Banke is alive, Rachel isn't going anywhere.

I can only hope that Rachel turns out to be a better mommy than her dam is.

And, if anyone thinks there's too much attention being paid to this, just wait until Zenyatta is bred. Gawd forbid they both have foals of the same sex. The histrionics will NEVER end.

I have no idea what Jackson's estate calls for when he evidentual passes, nor do I care. One day someone other then Jess is going to make decisions on who she will be bred to and it is likely not to be Hook and Ladder in the Phillipines.

It isn't a question of what's in JJ's will. He AND his wife BOTH own Curlin and Rachel. It's joint tenancy - rights of survivor. And, I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to with Hook and Ladder. Veiled sarcasm run amuck.


"Both champion thoroughbreds are owned by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings."
