Rabbit Run was written by John Updike....to attribute anything else to that title is sacrilege.

I liked when Pletcher entered Bishop Court Hill in the 05 Jockey Club Gold Cup as a rabbit.. he ended up dueling for the lead with his own entry mate Flower Alley..

How about Sir Barton being entered as a rabbit in the Kentucky Derby? That worked out rather well for him.

It's even funnier when you consider his intended target.

One of Lava Man's many brilliant races outside of CA..

That was the autumn of the rabbit at Belmont... the Show Boot/Crafty Player entry in the Woodward was unusual.. I wonder how many times two rabbits from the same barn ran in the same race.

Kind Sir:

Whilst I do have the utmost respect and admiration for you...

1. Start your own stupid rabbit thread if mine isn't good enough., and...

2. The only thing I like about Updike (Zzzz) is that he is slightly less boring than Cheever.

(You know I love you).

So where are the Frankel people?

No one?

LOVED Bishop Court Hill.

My favorite rabbit is Blatant who often forgot his job and would finish 3rd at crazy odds of 100/1, 30/1, etc.

He was the rabbit for Dubawi and Dubai Destination to name a few..

Loach is my favorite rabbit, after the Energizer Bunny of course.

Really? Why's that? The STG rabbit thing?

I liked his sire quite a bit.

They never used a rabbit for her, in the interest of fair play.
