It doesn't matter who Zito has in the race, Summer Bird is going to upset the Belmont.

I guess his final NY ride won't be a winner.

I imagine he'll jump back on Pioneerof Denial when those two battle off for greatness in CA.

They said Gomez liked the way Chocolate Candy finished in his workout... but I'm wondering if they liked how he finished in the Derby.

Both Rachel and Mine That Bird worked in the rain this morning.

The decision to run Rachel has been moved to next week, but Jackson confirmed Albarado would ride her in the Belmont if Borel lands somewhere else. Mine That Bird's connections said they would wait a few more days until confirming a jockey...

In addition to saying that if she skips the Belmont, she'll likely run in the Mother Goose, what I found interesting was this:

Jackson also said it is questionable whether Rachel Alexandra would be pointed toward the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita in the fall. He reiterated his dislike of artificial surfaces, such as the Cushion Track at Santa Anita. If the filly did run in the Breeders’ Cup, Jackson indicated it would be in the Classic rather than the Ladies Classic.

No one's mentioned this yet on this thread but Joe Talamo is scheduled to ride this year's Belmont winner.
