I don't know, those were a bunch of mules out there, but it didn't seem like she exactly exerted herself.

She looked underweight to me.

I think she locked up HOY again with this one.

Definitely one of the best ever.

The 2 has every right to be a decent horse. She was the only horse in the race w/ any upside. I think they both ran pretty hard (probably harder than RA should've had to) and still crushed everyone else.

Rachel measured her opponent and did what it took to win. She knows where the wire is.

(hey if Zenyatta fans can say it, so can I!)

DRF says Jackson did not even make the trip to Monmouth. That's strange.

Maybe the dude has one foot in the casket or something - but why go all the way to Joisey to see a paid workout in like 100 degree heat?

Why go to Joisey at all?

To get a headache maybe?

Hey, some of us here used to live in Joisey, OK?

I thought Queen Martha ran pretty darn good for her 1st dirt attempt, and think she might be OK going forward.

Jess is so old that he forgot he had a horse.

Didn't catch the fake stake … but, not surprisingly, the so-called hoty continues to prove how overrated she is/was…

She could have pulled a zenyatta and barely beat the tin cans.

I'm just glad to see the Rachel roadshow continue. She has now raced in more states this year than zenyatta has raced in her entire career. Shipping all the way to Kentucky, only to scratch on the day that Rachel is crowned the queen with a romp in the Oaks, doesn't count. zenyatta's connections weren't scared of the rainy conditions that day - they were scared of being outshined by Rachel Alexandra.
