RTR Runs 2nd

[MisterB]

Talk about a horse who lost interest. The screws are not tight, nor should they be. Nice work out

she's had a couple set backs, fevers, a bad work and a nervous exercise rider led to a fine-tooth comb exam. she'll be fine.

B-Cup..still the fav?

Rags will always be the favorite because people have an emotional connection to her now. The only way she won't be the favorite is if she runs against males.

i think so. she had every reason to be a little short today. of course most would have expected her to beat any female running, but with her on again off again schedule...well, she certainly isn't invincible. she didn't lose by much. i'm just glad to see that the winners of the spring classics are still running in the fall. certainly a welcome change.

She can forget HOY. Only way she can win is to beat the guys in BC Classic.

Rags ran a credible race. If she was ever going to get beat, today was the day and Lear's Princess was the only one in this field to do it. IMO that is pretty much what happened.

Hard to train any horse for this type of race with all the setbacks she's endured lately...Not surpring but she should be primed for the BC - given any further issues....

Rags carried 7 more pounds and had not raced in three months. In the distaff all the weights are equal or Rags gets a break for being 3, I am not really sure. Not to take anything away from Lear's Princess but she is in top shape right now. The bottom line is on BC day it will be a different story.

Even if she goes winless for the rest of her career, winning the Belmont stakes was pretty cool.

Might be true, but with these setbacks she has already encountered, I hope she makes it error-free to the BC...
