SB was the best Lucky Alexander faced all season … and he's a stayer … clearly vulnerable at anything less than ten.


AGS would've spanked LA…

You're really skating on thin ice with this one. AGS's best race was the Haskell and RA's was better. There's just no way around it, and I was a huge (and financially less sound person because of it) AGS fan.

AGS would've left Lucky in the dust (with HS and C) in the '07 edition of that race, NTamm1215.


Like I said … LUCKY Alexander, 2009 Horse-of-the-Year..............

Pletch had AGS razor sharp for that race (Haskell), fred.

No way Lucky would've held him off that day…

I think that if Any Given Saturday had driven a NASCAR car in the BCC, this conversation wouldn't be happening.

Seriously how does somebody compare the two..Rachel is a brilliant once in a generation type.. We watch swill win G2 races like that heg in Ca. This weekend.. I dont feel anything but joy for the connections of that crap that won a G2 I wish then nothing but the best BUT there horse is a product of th environment. Rachel, Zenyattta are different they are two of the most special animals that we have ever been priviledged to watch. Now Smooth Load repps Any Given Grade 2 horse as a Rachel type animal ...Please Rachel makes the hair on your Ballz straighten..Any given Colt is Musket Man with a twist MAYBE

Heck if Zenyatta had hooked up with Ashado we would not be having this conversation.

If Curlin's first baby faced them this year we wouldn't be having this conversation, she easily gets 10f look at those legs.

The odd thing is that this thread is no sillier now then when some people meant it to be serious.

After two years at Santa Anita, the Breeders' Cup returns to Churchill Downs and a dirt surface this year. They'll never do it (think of how long it took them to adopt color-coded saddlecloths), but the time has come for the Breeders' Cup crowd to strike the words "World Championships" from its branding. Historically, it's just not so. Twenty-six years on, there have now been 15 Horse of the Year champions who either didn't win or didn't run in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Rachel Alexandra is the eighth national champion who didn't run in any Breeders' Cup race. At election time, Eclipse voters, most of them, have shown a predilection for a body of work rather than one big afternoon in the fall. They're throwbacks, in a way. They still value the races that meant the most before the Breeders' Cup came along.
