i think zayat should let rachel show whether she 'belongs there' or not...
if he doesn't want to enter one of his fillies, so be it. it's not up to him to decide whether someone else should do the same. as for marylou whitney, birdstone made his mark by having a derby winner. yeah, it would look good to have a tc on your resume-but it wouldn't look so good if (and it's a huge if) mine that bird somehow (lol) managed to win it, but the horse that's arguably the best 3 yo out there was kept out. you want to be the best? then BEAT the best.

If they purposely fill up the race removing her
from the field then I dont get to see her run against a better horses. And that sucks. Those that look at a race totally from a betting perspective may have a diff. view. If one wants to view a race purely from a competitive point of view, it would absolutely blow if she did not get to run. We have already lost a number of good horses that would have added excitement to the triple crown races for reasons out of anyones control.

" Does our sport need another Eight Belles? We all know what happened to Rags to Riches after her race in the Belmont. We all know what happened to Ruffian. I did not want to have that part of it on my watch."
this was some of zayats justification for attempting to keep rachel out of the race. i have to say i completely disagree with his contention that running females vs males can have this type of effect on a filly. i am happy tho to know that he has finally changed his mind about entering a horse that has no business in the race to keep out a horse who absolutely deserves a shot.

These two freaking cowards make me sick!!
 They dont want to risk having there butts handed to them by a filly, so they have the nerve to try to get on their high horse and use Ruffian and Eight Belles as examples???? WTF, Could someone please explain to these idiots that Eight Belles broke down AFTER the damn race !!!! How the hell does she know she is running against boys, unless they are hitting on her in the post parade???  I would have alot more respect for them if they just said "Look, that filly is a bad @#%&^^%, and we dont want her kicking our butts"!!

supposedly allen is doing this so he can 'get his rider back'. i wonder how calvin would feel, whether he'd want to ride back for the guy, if he stoops to this level to keep out the filly?
