What's the word on this Clear Sailing? I saw her win her first condition and she looked like she could run a little. I guess she won a stakes last out, too. Comes from a deep Overbrook family (Jump Start, Miswaki).

Not expecting her to step up here necessarily, but do her numbers suggest she's capable of progressing into the upper ranks?

No one ever talks about this Harold McCormick, the other owner of Rachel Alexandra. What is his deal?

Owner suggested it. Wants to see if she's good enough to run in the $5 million Apple Blossom.

got it , it does sure seem strange to run here after not being out of cali in 2 1/2 yrs , i wonder why he hasn't tried it in the past?

i wonder if sheriffs had any input into this , he has not liked to ship out of cali much lately
