Am I the only one experiencing deja vu?

Pretty weak....I must say I don't think its in her interests to come back in 2 weeks off that effort...but in terms of sporting its pretty weak. It isn't similar to using a rabbit to me.

It's OK, don't worry, when he enters Z Day it'll only be because he'll ensure a fast pace, not because he'll keep Rachel out. See he just wants to improve his horse's chances, not keep one horse out.

Am I the only one who thinks that the game was better before the teal and yellow dots showed up? I mean how many mis-placed horses who you completely overpaid for can one guy have?

there is supposed to be an unspoken agreement that Rachel Alexandra would not be bumped out of the race because of what her racing in the Preakness would mean for the popularity of the sport.

Either Zayat is extremely dense, or he feels the need for the spotlight to be on him and the praise when he is eventually "merciful"

Cool Hello broadway would ensure a fast pace?

If you wanted a fast pace, should have Hello Broadway waited one more week and go out in 44. Then if Ra wins it would be quite impressive! Zayat should just shut up! This preakness has to be one of the most anticipated ones in awhile. To think last year was big brown and now we have this drama. This is what make horse racing great and I'll be cheering for Ra. I don't care who the owners are, I care about the horse and she has the chance to be something special!

I don't think Ra is the proper species to run in the Preakness.
