I wasn't going to go to the Spa for Forego Day, but I'm there now. No doubt.

Birdstone and M.D. have proven their worth as stallions so far.

Forego Day was one of my first times at Saratoga and I haven't been back since (To Forego Day. Not Saratoga!).

One or two of them would've run her ass down in the 10f Travers.


Might as well try to steal the shorter contest from the older mediocrities...

That's why the Woodward is the better choice. Bullsbay second. Asiatic Boy third . Greet the teller!

"After it was announced that Rachel Alexandra would go in the Woodward, the New York Racing Association announced the purse would be raised from $500,000 to $750,000."

This a waste of money in my opinion. She would have run in the race anyway, and there aren't any top class older horses around no matter what the purse is....

by making 2nd place worth 150K and 3rd worth 75K .. it at least should keep the field size more respectable.

I think there is a chance she draws a bigger crowd.

Does this serve as a warning to those in the area?
