Do you do what everyone tells you you should do with your horses?

When the best horse in the country skips the championship day because of a personal agenda I think it is something to discuss. Say his personal agenda was that he didnt like Frank Stronach and wont race at his tracks? Would you play a different tune then?

And I think that if most of us had the 8 million to buy her after the Oaks we too could do a fine job with her. It is liking saying Albert Pujols is having a great year because Tony LaRussa bats him third in the lineup. Scuds could manage the team and that guy would hit just as almost any trainer/owner combo could win with RA.

There are plenty of legit reasons not to run her on Pro Ride. If DrugS thinks she would be buried there is a dam good reason he is saying it. Sometimes horseman and handicappers need to work together. A friend of mine is a terrific handicapper and some horseman use him for advise. I have seen were his advised has made the trainers look very smart.

DrugS maybe a lot of things but he is no dummy when he says she would be trounced on Pro Ride there is some merit to it. I don't know if he is right but I know he is just not saying it to be an idiot.

If Jackson said that after consulting with Drugs he wouldnt run it would have more merit than what he is saying now.

Chuck I like you want to see Rachel run in the Classic but she likely won't. The crime is we have billions of dollars spent on training and racing dirt horses and Championship day is devoid of a dirt race. It's like they canceled the day and made a new one SURPISE. I think Jess thinks he can make a difference and make sure this never happens again. He has done a marvelous job racing her, unfortunately people will remember him for not racing her.
