She was better than Rags To Riches IMO.

Not in my eyes. I could never see RA beating Curlin, under any conditions other than her getting a 5 length lead going real slow.

Even then, I doubt it.

I think the reason RA looked as good as she did was the atrocious level of competition she faced.

It depends on the distance I think. At 12 furlongs, which we run like 4 of those a year, yeah Rags was better. She was better at 10 also. But I'd take RA at 9 furlongs. The RA of last year that is.

You should look at some of those fields Rags beat.

Rags 7f race was spectacular.

It was pretty good. There was also nothing at all behind her. Again, look at some of the fields she beat.

[Indian Charlie]

Yup. She wasn't in the deepest of crops ever, I'll give you that.

Her Ky Oaks field was far better than RA's though, you have to admit that.

Of course it was...that was an awful field last year.

I think they would have had a great match-up if they battled going 1-1/16 or 1-1/8.

At a 1-1/4, I would give the advantage to R2R.
