Wouldn't be surprised if RA ends up in Philly ... taking on another assortment of 3yo creampuffs.


Doubt if they want any part of QR ... or ten panels, for that matter, at the Spa.


Would love to see some old slug expose her in the Woodward, tho…

As opposed to older mare creampuffs?

All of this stupidity could be scaled back if they'd just run Zenyatta in the Pacific Classic...what the hell is wrong with running her there? Are most of you really thinking that Rail Trip is that good? If Zenyatta is who everyone on the west coast wants her to be she should beat Rail Trip rather easily.

Now we have Rachel Alexandra being chastised for not running 10 furlongs?!? I went through the PPs for hours and couldn't find Zenyatta's last 10 furlong effort.

Personally I think it's brilliant when someone points out that Rachel might be making her 8th start on a 7th diffrent track in a year to point out her "weakness".

Zenyatta is a lovely horse, but I don't know how you can argue that she is having a better year than Rachel.

Would it be too much to ask them to run twice nevermind once, if they could meet once on dirt, once on synthetic. It seems to me that this is the fairest compromise, if RA's connections are worried that RA may not take to synth this will atleast allow her a chance to redeem herself on dirt if she runs badly. We atleast know Zenyatti can run on both. I'd rather her race against RA than race in The Pacific Classic.

Rail Trip would beat Zenyatta on either dirt or cushion track.

Polytrack is like bingo... and pro-ride can be wildly closer favoring.

Pro Ride is the absolute worst surface for RA style wise - and going a 10f distance for Asmussen would make her an extremely exciting bet if you could get action on who will run last.

Exactly, which is why they should run her in the PC. Ron Ellis said on TVG that Rail Trip did not pick up the Poly at Del Mar very well in his first workout but "seemed to be taking a liking to it now." I think she fits very well against him on Poly or Pro-Ride.

From what I understand the owners of the horse are to the point of not wanting to do anything different with their horse, the endless questions and seemingly condemnation over how they are handling their business is creating almost a desire to just let it play out, a kind of it is what it is deal.

Just another excuse.

If it's their prerogative to go the route of Lady's Secret-Ladies' Classic and done for her career that's fine, they just better not b.itch when she doesn't win HOTY.

The complaining is not really coming from them, if you could quote something that shows that I would be interested in reading it.

Of course they can do that, and I agree, no way is she horse of the year even with a BC Classic win. Of course, that isn't even supposed to be on the schedule on this less than ambitious campaign.
