Lots of irony here with the "Zenyatta" stakes run out West formerly being named the Lady's Secret.

Her connections do know that speeds not holding the way it did at MTH, right?

THis article confuses me for a couple reasons:

1. The Lady's Secret is listed on Monmouth's website as being run on August 1st.

2. The Lady's Secret is listed on Monmouth's website as having a purse of $150k.

Did they move it and not tell anybody?

3. It's also listed as being run at 8.5f, not 9. Something is amiss here.

the article answers those questions. MTH bumped the purse and the date to lure Rachel.

A-ha! When I originally opened the article, it made no mention of the date or purse change, only that she was running that day.

Looks like some accommodations were made.


Quote:
The Lady's Secret was originally scheduled to be run at 1 1/16 miles on August 1 as part of the Haskell Day card. However, with Rachel Alexandra running, the race has been moved to July 24, and the purse has been increased to $400,000. If Rachel Alexandra is unable to compete in the Lady's Secret, the purse will revert to the originally scheduled $150,000. According to Jackson's statement, the Lady's Secret has also been lengthened to 1 1/8 miles

Say that you've got a chance to hook up with this guy you've been chatting with online, who's going to be somewhere near you on that date and that you won't get another chance for a long time.

You'll look desperate and pathetic, but you will be believed.

Tell them you caught equine flu. It's an off shoot of swine flu. Or at least it is for the purposes of this fib.
