Rachel to Monmouth on July 24...

XIIPointStables · #1 07-01-2010, 07:04 PM

Does this make it a lock she won't race at Saratoga? A bit of a slap in the face of NYRA after all this insane coverage of her arrival yesterday no?

Or are the connections publicly pointing to this one to try and coax Zenyatta east (no detention barn at MTH, I get it) and then back out and go in the Ruffian if Z does NOT come east.

EDIT: The friggin Lady's Secret is an ungraded stake? Is the money really that important to the connections?

EDIT2: Okay there's a story here right? Someone at NYRA didn't bend over backwards for Jess and Co.? Monmouth is throwing in a dozen free Pro-V 1s? I can see if the race was similar but it's ungraded and will be against no one. Unless there's a deal in place that makes Zenyatta a part of this. Last edit sorry.

Maybe if NYRA creates a race for her, runs it on a Tuesday so she gets top billing, puts up half a million, writes the conditions so that no one else good can show up, waives the detention barn requirement, gets Byk to give Jackson an hour segment (Larry King style questions only) and guarantees that Andy doesnt pick against her.

Thats the kind of competition that they are seeking.

You would think these two horses would have faced each other multiple times by now, but no, NOT ONCE, yet the BS goes on and on, ad nauseam, forever linked in fantasy cyberspace. I've lost interest, and I like both horses.

The hats, media coverage and Curlin Restaurant weren't enough????

And on the first Saturday of racing at the Spa.

I smell a firey edition of 'At the Races' tomorrow morning.

It is hard to be firey at 7am.

Byk while excellent is a NYRA schill... MP is horse racing this summer save the Carolina BBQ.. Shouldn't MP have the big East coast star while NYRA worrys about the purse structure for the 7500 claimers?>

Horseracing 2010 style

The "stars" agenda
Some 2nd tier race at FG
Some 2nd tier race at CD
Another 2nd tier race at CD
A batting practice fastball at Monmouth

ooohhhh! How "sporting" of Mr Jackson!!

But he didnt retire her!!!!!!

Ah yeah he kind of did, he retired her from races that matter...

I think this decision once again just shows that Monmouth is the place on the east coast where the real racing has taken place this summer.

Stupid is as stupid does... Rachel is at MP why 150k? Let me guess NYRA got a bad chocolate? It's ridiculous racings biggest east coast draw is running at the shore because of neglect.. You want the best free agent in the business you have to cater to their needs which includes buying the entourage dinner at Nobu. Welcome to the big leagues..Kiss the golden goose even when it hurts..

Stupid is the handle at MP when Rachel comes visit.
