I would say 3 of those are highly unlikely to be in the classic, if any races at all.

Rachel does not like to be tied down to one man. She is a free spirit.

I don't think Calvin has ever worked Rachel since Asmussen's been training her.

The Super Bowl of horse racing if you will, richard

Should be quite a spectacle if the Racing Gods can deliver some decent weather in Louisville that weekend

Those preparing on the superior (synthetic) surfaces are clearly poised to give good accounts of themselves, in my estimation...

If Rachel wins for fun next weekend, and then wins another prep...
If Blame wins the JCGC...
If QR crushes the Woodward...
If Lookin At Lucky wins some garbage prep...
He could actually get 3-1 on big Z

That's OK. There's no more room on the bandwagon anyway.

Don't know about that, Princess

Think a lot of the weasels bailed after RA got ambushed by that synthetic-to-dirt goin' little z back in March...
