She's Done

She had enough to hold off Macho Again and Bullsbay with a final 8th in 12 4/5.

Would she have held off Summer Bird a week prior? Guess we'll never know that. Kudos to Jackson for picking the right spot.

Totally different dynamics.

Rachel Alexandra was given ZERO breathers in the Woodward. None. She was running hard from start-to-finish. It doesn't matter who was running with her. Fast early is fast early. There's no way you can say she would of undergone similar pressure in the Travers.

And to be annoying... Past The Point loves Saratoga. Bullsbay was in career form at Saratoga. Macho Again is a hard-knocking elder who needs a pace setup to win... which he got, yet he still couldn't do it.
