All Rachel backers have no progressive thinking.Rachel was bought after her 20 length victory in Ky Oaks AND a rat named Mine That Bird beat the best 3yo colts in Derby.I think if the perfect storm did not happen no one would have known Rachel like they know her now.Yes she won the Prekness 2 weeks later and had a clear advantage of pace and all these 3 yo that ran 2 weeks earlier were all "topped out". The reason I make this point is all Derby horses had from 4 to 6 weeks off before the derby.She chose the weaker 3 yo race against colts again(listen to Jerry Bailey after BC Classic of last year) to beat Summer Bird and Munnings? in the slop.She beat absolutely nothing in the Woodward (Macho Again-Bullsbay) by getting weight to boot.
NOW MY POINT!!!!!!!!
She goes out for remainder of year because she cannot beat top line older males and nothing left in her division.Jackson will not run on poly because his broken down Curlin got beat on it. They have 6 MONTHS to prepare for a campaign this year and she is not ready?
Zenyatta has been brought along perfect for 3 years why do all Rachel fans shoot her down.????
Rachel is only great because she was put into perfect situations for a 3 month period.Zenyatta has been perfect for 15 starts and 3 years.
My opinion is Jerry Moss should tell the world Zenyatta is staying put and winning 5 Gr. I in California and then going to Churchill Downs for BC Classic. He does not need the money and because Jesse Jackson is such an idiot ,who, by the way bought this horse along with Curlin should ask every one if you want some come to California.
