LOL, its been months, if they wanted her to be ready she could be.
I beleive anyone who understands this game, knows Rachel is now the third gun.

I'm sure that they had a plan/schedule on bringing Rachael back (if they even intend to). Facing Zenyatta wasn't in those plans because she was supposedly retired. So what was Rachael's camp supposed to do, drop everything and start drilling the day after Zenyatta's camp announced that she wasn't retiring? I guess if they really wanted her to race at Oaklawn, they could probably have her ready. But that being said, why should they scrap/rush their schedule to race a horse who didn't want to leave California to race Rachael while she was in a peak form.
Maybe I don't understand the game and Rachael is indeed now the third gun. If that is the case, I'm trying to figure out who told you.

Pretty safe to say that the Met Mile won't be on RA's schedule either.

you did the math on how much each horse ran last year, right? rachel didn't have a break from the time she started at two until after the woodward.

Well...they didn't want her ready so why should she be? As mentioned, Z's camp was deceitful at best and lied at worst, but..that's their right so it doesn't matter. I really have tried to appreciate Z and RA for what they are..great stories and great horses, but saying that RA is now a third wheel because QR ran a huge race against so-so horses on a track built for him is almost as precious as your Peyton Manning thread. Stop ranking them until they are all in mid season shape.

Zenyatta is the best horse ever.

QR and Z are better. I beleive that and actually have for a while.

Will the RA connections be doing more ducking and weaving than Pretty Boy Floyd this season???

[Sightseek]

Will Z's connections cry again when they don't win the HOTY trophy because they only put her in one challenging race?

Stay tuned!

Beats outright lying like the Zenyatta connections

[The Indomitable DrugS]

It wasn't lying .... it was just a (not so) clever misdirection of the populace in a failed attempt at getting more votes.

Repeat after me:

"I" before "e" except after "c."

No more excuses for Jack-Ass

Plenty of time to get their fat filly into shape for the 4/3 SHOWDOWN...

Looking up two things in the dictionary:

Horse of the Year:

-The American Award for Horse of the Year is the highest honor given in American thoroughbred horse racing. It has been awarded since 1887 to the horse, irrespective of age, whose performance during the racing year is deemed the most outstanding.

Rachel Alexandra: 2009 Horse of the Year

Toolshed:

-Variation of the common term tool meaning loser. This takes it to another level of tooldom. These low lifes are sometimes just referred to as "sheds"

-The biggest of all tools.. such a tool that he or she could hold all the tools in the world in one place. This word is so powerful that it can only be placed on one person a week.

-This is when he/she greatly exceeds the simple term of tool, toolkit etc.And has now infact become a greater loser then before, a toolshed.

Smooth Operator: 2009 Toolshed of the Year

while you're at it, could you get the word out that 'a lot' is the correct spelling, not alot?!?!

[Smooth Operator]

Amazing how silent the RA fans have been lately.

Almost as if they're scared of something.

Is the memory of Z's powerful score in the BCC still haunting them after all these months … are they worried that RA may not be the same horse after that life-and-death-to-hang-on effort at Toga last summer … or is it QR's recent tour-de-force that has them sitting on their hands???


Just look at Jersey boy's post above … the usual predictable drivel … but not a word about the big race in Arky on 4/3.

No smack talk about how Rachel the Great is gunna send the old Cali mare back into permanent retirement … nothing.


Hell, I think freddy told me RA was the 'best in a generation'. Shirley she can handle an over-the-hill 6yo like Z … right??



By the way, Jersey boy, I believe that turf titan, Favorite Trick, is also on your Horse-of-the-Year list … LMAO
