I don't think so either, but this is Jess Jackson we're talking about.

If this isn't Rachel's last race, I'm pretty sure it's Calvin's as her pilot.

Bummer!

I can't figure out why he didn't let her run on a bit when she moved alongside Be Fair just as they turned onto the backstretch.

What's there to say: 2nd time out she gets beat by a NOTHING.

It was the ride, again, I get it.

The ****in' Horse of the Year needs yet another excuse.

Let's start some more threads now about how Z is ducking her.

DONE

I wouldn't call Unrivaled Belle nothing, she's a graded stakes winner already.

Not sure a closer would have gotten to those two.

It won't matter, Rachel is done, no way they continue, and she also slightly stumbled coming down the lane.

How could they fire him for doing what he's told? It's not like that's how he's always ridden her. It's not his bright idea to go a slow half. You never know, though. Jess could decide he's gotta blame somebody.

I really hope the gameplan going into the race wasn't to get in a duel the last quarter mile.

unless she comes out of the race with an actual injury she will not be retired.

Jeez, take the winner out of the field and Rachel wins by 8 on a soft pace. Then the critique becomes how easy she had it on the front end.

I saw that too. She's not comfortable running. There's something going on. She's entitled to some wear and tear. Hope they can work it out and keep running her this year.

Missed the race, only caught the winner's circle. They tried to hold her back again? Seriously?
