More from Scott Blasi:

Blasi said there is nothing wrong with Rachel physically. After she had a bullet work of 48.45 seconds for four furlongs on Monday, some eyebrows were raised when she was retired from the game on Tuesday.

"She is healthy, she is good, she is happy," Blasi said.

He also said that she was prepared to run in Saturday's $350,000 Grade I Beldame at Belmont Park if that was the way Jackson wanted to go.
