Me too ... 19

lol light years?

no it wasn't. they were comparable fields. you wanting the classic to be tougher, a higher standard, doesn't make it so.

and yeah, i hope zenyatta ties pepper's pride. no one wants the record to be held exclusively by a horse that only raced in new mexico.

In a statement, Jess Jackson, co-owner of Rachel Alexandra, said: “We are disappointed in the result, as we are sure her countless fans are, but we are certainly not disappointed in her. She is still a superstar in our hearts and minds. The old sports adage applies ... on any given Sunday, anything can happen.”

Her trainer Steve Asmussen, said he and Jackson would evaluate Rachel Alexandra's condition before making a decision on where she would race next.

"We want to evaluate who we are and who she is and where she’s at. We’re just worried about her well-being,” he said somewhat cryptically.



i've got a bad feeling about her future racing career. i hope today wasn't her last hurrah.

After chewing on it several hours, I think considering everything that happened this year and last year, they should still go to the BCC. I dont think she will win, but I think she should have a chance to take down Zenyatta.
