Rachel Alexandra sale pending; Preakness possible?

[Holland Hacker]

I have two questions.

1. If the preakness fills without RA isn't she still on the outside looking in as she wasn't originally nominated to the TC?

2. Who will Borel ride?

I'm bummed as I was hoping to never have to look a Jess Jackson's Mugg again.

my guess is Borel will stick with MTB and Robbie Albarado will get to ride RA if she goes

It's funny how a change in ownership can have a direct effect on one's rooting interest. I loved RA after the Oaks, now I don't know how I feel.

the only good thing, RA's not going to ireland or worse the middle east to Never be seen again.

I get an e-mail first thing this morning that says "RA will run in the Preakness".

They better hope that check clears before Robbie gets aboard her.

i will say that if she goes in the preakness Borel will not be on her

But I have a hard time believing that 2 weeks after calling Rachel the best horse he's ever ridden, that he will willingly get off of her.

ya think even that troothless pinhead knows which horse is the fastest

I'd say it's a good chance Gales could be WHIP under a different handle for this baord.
