I do not dislike Rachel Alexandra, but at present I doubt her.

I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I'm putting up between $50 and $100 on exotics banking on she does not win this race, and perhaps runs 3rd or back.

I've been streaking pretty good in 2010, and this will be my only play for tomorrow. Fun money.

If I lose, I'll still be happy that Rachel Alexandra wins.


So I win, regardless.


I like it.

It would take a serious injury, a DQ, or Borel to fall off for her to finish 3rd or worse.

[MISTERGEE]

I think it would take one of those instances for her to lose obviously

Is this just a crazy talk or could it be a reality?

Phily Park has already canceled.

i would save that fun money...and bet against her when she runs back in saratoga.....she will be over bet as usual and will probably lose here because it will be real competition.

Anybody betting against Rachel Alexandra today clearly has money to waste or needs a hobby. I'm still doubting whether they'll even race today - just finished yard work outside (I have a very small yard), and already had to change a shirt.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I just jogged two miles .. hardly broke a sweat.

It ain't easy being pretty.

[Indian Charlie]

Especially if you aren't.

I did 15 reps of 80lb squats today.

[RockHardTen1985]

2 Funny.
Imo She Looked Like ****.

Not impressed. Just retire her, Jessica.

[Antitrust32]

i thought she did it very easily in high heat.

[10 pnt move up]

What was up with the lugging in down the lane? How good is that 2 horse, dont even know who she is?

pfft. Always an excuse with these "Superstars"

[slotdirt]

I don't know, those were a bunch of mules out there, but it didn't seem like she exactly exerted herself.

[Indian Charlie]

She looked underweight to me.

I think she locked up HOY again with this one.

Definitely one of the best ever.

[hockey2315]

The 2 has every right to be a decent horse. She was the only horse in the race w/ any upside. I think they both ran pretty hard (probably harder than RA should've had to) and still crushed everyone else.

[letswastemoney]

Rachel measured her opponent and did what it took to win. She knows where the wire is.

(hey if Zenyatta fans can say it, so can I!)

[letswastemoney]

DRF says Jackson did not even make the trip to Monmouth. That's strange.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Maybe the dude has one foot in the casket or something - but why go all the way to Joisey to see a paid workout in like 100 degree heat?
