He could mean fried squid. "Cali mare"...personally I would use spell check, but sure, sound it right out. I'd rather you give deep fried Mars bars a shot at history. They're delicious.

Zenyatta 3-1 in the Classic? Wow. Rinterval could pay $10 if that's the case.

Here she is galloping 8/22. Her head's going all over the place, but sometimes she manages to settle for a few seconds. I hope she gets to work Monday.

She wanted to run so badly that the jock had to grab the reins up around her ears just to hold her back.

Wow what a handful! Not an easy horse to ride it looks like. I wonder if they have ever considered using draw reins on her to get her to settle.
She did'nt appear too happy that's for sure..

Slight correction. That work was on Saturday the 21st. I know because I was there. Sunday morning the track was rain soaked - not that Rachel wouldn't have relished it.

Oops, yeah this is what happens when I go with what the person who sent it to me told me instead of the description in the darn video. Not that they said Sunday, they got the date wrong.

Looks like she and Life at Ten are scaring them off. So there are 4 probables, 2 possibles? http://www.drf.com/news/rachel-alexa...ersonal-ensign
