It's not just the pride of seeing her run, if I had a horse who won even one of those great races the horse would become more than just an asset. I'd feel strongly attached to the horse, who would almost be part of the family.

I'd keep her. I guess it's understandable to feel otherwise, but I'd rather have $1 million and one of the best horses of her generation than lose her in exchange for more money than I'd ever need.
I'd feel the same. In order to purchase a horse like that you have to figure you already have a lot of money so I'd want to chase after the record books. I guess fame means more to me than fortune.

If I owned her, I would sell her with a reserve of $10mm.

Given my own personal financial situation - I'd sell her and try to find another one (or 10) to have more fun with.

I'd retire Rags to Riches and keep her as my pet horse

That would piss off the whole industry probably lol.

Coaching Club, Alabama, something in the fall if she stays glued, BC

That is a possible 4 races. That's alot. Champions are not racing much these days.

Next year......If anything goes amiss in above races we'll most likely not see her again.
