I think it's great to hear that Tabor & Magnier are bringing Rags to Riches back for a 4yo season. Article in Drf.

I'm sure Todd is really hoping she comes back. Considering the number of horses he has ( and gets ) his prospects are shockingly thin for next season. Ravel, Sunriver and Panty Raid appear to be the strongest ammunition in his once potent stable right now.

I like her, and hope she comes back, but I'll remain skeptical until she hits the racetrack.

True, the comeback road can be a bumpy one for sure. I mean look at what happened with her after the Belmont. If there is a hair out of place they will probably want it diagnosed by the infamous Dr. House.

There are so few good horses out there in the vast majority of the divisions - I'm sure he'll be fine.

This is great news. She could save the sport.

Well, she can make for some great moments. I doubt a horse can save the sport!

I admire and envy your optimism.

Can't wait to see how she lowers take-out.

Will she like cushion?

Doesn't sound like she'll get a chance to start in CA. Pletcher says a mid-April return at best.

Don't think she'd mind it. Polytrack? Who knows.

Can you think of any Pletcher 2yo's that were at least a little impressive? I can't. Ready's Image was obviously his best 2YO, but has 0% chance of going two turns successfully.

mid-April? Hmmm..sounds like a 5 race campaign at best.

I still think a 5-race campaign is optimistic. I honestly doubt she will actually run again. Would be great, but I can see her hooking up with a stud next year...
