I loved Rags to Riches but felt jilted when she got injured in that race against Lears Princess and never ran again. Let's keep Rachel around awhile.

Wow. If she beat Mine That Bird again and a bunch of Derby washouts, she'd be the greatest ever?

And another terrible comparison in using Rags to Riches. Rags had what, one up the track start as a two-year-old in June? She had plenty of issues that Rachel doesn't have.

You're not getting her on Belmont day....get over it! Ask Jerry Brown if he thinks she should run.

I forgot that Jerry Brown is the one and only omniscient immortal God of horse racing.
