Sounds like a winner.

I'm going to bet against RA, the rewards are too enticing if she doesn't win. Right now it sounds like they shouldn't even run the race because they have already handed her the Preakness.

I like how he says she is undefeated in 4 tries - he fails to mention that is just for 2009.

The 3rd place horse got just a 68 Beyer.

Imagine regressing 32 Beyer points from your last start and still hitting the board in the Kentucky Oaks. Pretty amazing.

That was a very tough day to make figs though - the number for that race could easily have been a few points higher.
