This may sound stupid because the value of the preakness, but what are the chances that someone says screw JJ for buying RA and does whatever they can do to ensure that RA has a hell of a time winning the preakness, kind of what they did to Smarty Jones.

I don't have the patience ( or interest ) to read this entire thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating what has already been said, but I think it is a big mistake if they run Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness. To run her in a race she wasn't pointing for, so quickly after purchasing her, is a recipe for disaster. What's the hurry? If they really want to run in the TC then wait for the Belmont. Or else, run her in the Acorn or Mother Goose......and then the Whitney. Who exactly are the tigers she should be so worried about in there? Plus, it's four weeks before the Travers if they want to go there as well.

Lauren, Respectfully Andy cares more about racing, and bettors then anyone I have ever met. He has been an advocate of the bettor and the horseman for as long as I have known him. How you can possibly suggest anything to the contrary is slanderous and capcious... Look it's a harsh job market and if you were replaced or your position was eliminated you join millions of worthy hard working american people who find themselves in the same plight..

Edited press release Stonestreet Stables and partner Harold T. McCormick announced May 8 that Calvin Borel has agreed to ride Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) winner Rachel Alexandra for the current racing season. Also, Stonestreet said it plans to run the filly in the May 16 Preakness Stakes (gr. I), contingent upon her continuing to train well up to the race. In making the decision, Borel selected the filly over Mine That Bird, whom he rode to an upset victory in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and is being pointed toward the preakness. “It came down to the facts that he knows and loves this horse, that he knows how to get the most from her and he knows how to win,’’ said Jess Jackson of Stonestreet Stables and proprietor of Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates. “They were an amazing team at the Kentucky Oaks—winning by over 20 lengths. We think this is a perfect match of rider and horse.’’ Jackson said Rachel Alexandra will continue her workout schedule under trainer Steve Asmussen. “If she continues to be in perfect condition, our intention will be to run her in the Preakness,” Jackson said, adding that the final decision would be made next week.

Damn I missed that one but I'm having a hard time figuring out how it got from Calvin Borel off Bird for Rachel In Preakness to Madonna's hyperbaric chamber.

Calvin Borel is THE reason Mine That Bird won the Derby.
Nothing says anywhere that Rachel Alexandra is a confirmed starter for the Preakness, nor that Calvin Borel WILL DEFINITELY be the named rider. Conjecture, conjecture. I don't comprehend the reasons earlier in this thread why people have a gross distaste for Jess Jackson.
