Rachel to Monmouth on July 24...

[Antitrust32]

What I dont understand is why everyone feels that just cause Rachel is running July 24th at MTH, why does that mean she wont be running at Saratoga??

She'll have plenty of opportunities to run at saratoga towards the latter stages of that meet.

Didnt she run in the Haskell AND the Woodward last year?

Maybe she wins this race and goes for back to back Woodwards?

Why is everyone convinced you wont see her at Toga??

I doubt they'll want to run her 10f and I doubt they'll want to run her against males off a race that is likely to have as weak a field as this year's Fleur De Lis or Apple Blossom.

Monmouth might try hard to get her back, too, with the Molly Pitcher run I believe the same day as the Personal Ensign.

I hear its a two race deal. Sometime in the next month they will ship Rachel to the shore and have her paraded to Molly Pitcher's well at the site of the Battle of Monmouth. Should be great stuff!

I've heard that the goal is the Lady's Secret, Woodward and Breeders Cup.

Woodward was 9f last year.. did they change it?

Not that I know of.

If she ran in the Woodward after this that would be more in line with Jess Jackson's prior style of campaigning, so hopefully you end up being correct.

hopefully she wins her next race with a solid time and performance & then I would truely think that Jess would put her back on track.

hopefully she loses to a Jersey bred and little Jess will be forced to run in bigger races or take his ball and go home.

Unlikely, as I'm sure you know.

The Unrivaled Belle race was a few lengths faster than Arson Squad's win in the Alysheba ... and her easy win last time was clearly faster than Blame's win in the Foster.

The funny part ... is that if he choose to run her against males .. which he might have if Zardana never was cranked up like only Shirreffs can and sent to FG ... Jackass Jess wouldn't have such a deflated grape sack right now.
