I'm just saying that they have such egos, Bridgmohan (who must have photos of Assmussen) may be aboard.

I wouldn't run her in the preakness. I'd save her for the Belmont and let her work 'em real good.

she doesnt need to be anywhere


but if she vetted out great and came out of the Oaks great why not??? Doesnt that track set up perfect for her running style??

I'd win the Preakness... take a break and win the Test @ 7 furlongs and then the Travers.

Doubt thats ever been done before!!!

I feel for Wiggins and Borel, a huge career and financial hit for them if they lose her.

You would have to think that Wiggins is making out in this deal too...

I think the Preakness would be a better race for her than the Belmont.

It was Jess Jackson, non-committal on most stuff but said that he is not against running her as a four year old, didn't say when he next start was except that the Acorn is what her current goal is, but was even non-commital on the trainer, wihch I thought was interesting, because i would think it is 1/200 that Assface gets her

I don't know about assuming Wiggins being taken care of by current (or future) owners. Jerry Brown of Thorograph posted publically on his site that he currently has a lawsuit pending against Rachel's co-owner Lauffer for not paying the fees after they hired him to find her for them for purchase. That obviously didn't encumber the current sale.

Rachel's owners are not any more impressive to me than her new connections.

While I see what your saying, if Borel got pulled for her just because of a change in ownership, it would be so wrong on so many levels.

If Wiggins gets $250,000 out of the deal he's making out like a bandit...and chances are he'll get much more than that.

Guess you don't appreciate her future winnings potential on the racetrack as I do.
