the top three won't be at pimlico. anyone wishing rachel would face boys may as well get over that too.

Should of, would of I know, it's tempting to speculate. I don't see why she shouldn't try males at one point in her career. It certainly didn't hurt Zarkava last year, though being a filly her upside in the breeding shed wouldn't be enhanced as much as a colt would. From a sporting perspective it would be a dream to have her take the torch from Curlin.

i don't either. but her owners are dead set against it. they evidently belong to the 'girls run harder, get hurt vs boys' crowd. sort of like the trainer of the derby winner spouted the 'preakness favors speed' nonsense when talking about where they'd go to next.
anyway, they put out her remaining schedule, and it's all distaff.

The Preakness should have a full field, not sure what the maximum number of horses entered can be at Pimilco are, but based on yesterday's results anything with 4 legs will be running.

since i don't know what to make of the race yesterday, and who did what, or will do what....

should i take anything from musket man closing late down the middle of the track, when it seems the rail was the best place to be?

Interesting the trainer is saying Preakness not a definite for MTB....mmmm....call me a cynic but that performance was almost too good to believe on his merits.
