Rachel Alexandra (116 Beyer for Haskell)

[Sightseek]

She comes back to the winner's circle all calm like nothing happened.

What a horse!

[XIIPointStables]

TVG postscript (Michelle Yu from TVG doing the interviewing)...

Steve Asmussen: Take her back to Saratoga and see how she comes out of this.

Jess Jackson: We'd like to face Zenyatta, but we're not going to California. I've said it before and I'm sticking to it.

[Riot]

Terrific - so glad we get to see such a good horse. I don't know that I've ever seen her breathing really hard after a race.

[Travis Stone]

Zenyatta isn't in Rachel's zip code at this point. Rachel is running, Zenyatta is not. Rachel has tried the boys, Zenyatta has not. Sure the game could change, but right now, Rachel Alexandra is the 10-length leader in the race for Horse of the Year.

I love Jess Jackson. Good for him.

Wrong answer Randall.

I don't hate Jess Jackson, but his stubborness won't change anything except keep horse racing from having another chance at good pub.

Grening's article said the preliminary figure for Rachel is a 116.

She will run at the BC, it is part of the story.....(Oh I didn't want to run but I just had to, I didn't want the public to hate me, so I did, she romped, and I am the greatest)

Stubborness? It's their horse for goodness sakes. How is it good publicity to run your horse on a surface she may not show how good she really is?

WOW is all you can say about her performance.

She does have three options for Saratoga :

1. Alabama ( shocked if she goes to that one)
2. Travers ( With Kensie winning yesterday, I don't know, they may feel she has nothing else to prove in the 3 yr old division)
3. Personal Ensign ( Tackle Older Females for the First time in one of the top G1 for Filly's and Mares)

My guess of what will conspire. Assumesan and Jackson will give the run around for about 2 weeks and being undecided and then will rest her until the Belmont Fall Season. Which would stink Her and MTB in The Travers would just be soo insane for the sport.

[10 pnt move up]

The figures dont lie, RA is the most superior horse in training right now, its not a slight to anyone else its just the facts. Why race against her anymore? There are million dollar races and a 6 million dollar one in November that I would target if I had a horse.

She has three options at Saratoga and the Alabama is not one of them. Rather than go in the Travers or PE, I would give her the extra week off and take on the older boys in the Woodward. No female has ever won the Woodward. 9 furlongs would be the right distance for her to try them also. If Commentator runs in the Whitney, it is very doubtful you would see him in the Woodward three weeks later.

The Woodward....I like it!!

[Arletta]

Just watched the replay.. Missed the race live.

Wow! She just keeps getting better and better!! Tick off the track record as well.... To think that one day we will be able to look back and say "I remember this great filly names Rachel" to our kids/grand kids
