I thought Just Jenda was okay at the time since she had a couple of G3s, although admittedly she got beaten in an ungraded stake at Monmouth in her last start. I agree the other 3 fillies were lousy.

They were lousy, so why was Rachel not there?

I think JJ couldn't take the criticism of losing that first race and let the media play into his head that Rachel wasn't the same.

I agree that she should have been there though and his hurt ego should be no excuse.

Just Jenda would be 1-9 against this field if no Rachel, at least she is a recent stakes winner, these others are frigging claimers.

According to some, facing that type over and over is befitting of a HOY campaign, so here's a toast to Rachel repeating in 2010!!!!!

No she wouldn't.

She'd be no shorter than 9/5.
