Thanks for the link.

Finished.

We just saw her last race.

Most likely.... Too bad.

Great race. Credit the winner.

She ran a terrific race. Give the winner some credit. She isn't finished.

I agree

48.4 in a mile race.

Good thinking, taking away her best weapon.

Who knows though.

Exactly. Why not let her roll and make them run her down, instead of trying to be cute on the far turn and getting in stretchlong battles while along the inside.

I don't think so either, but this is Jess Jackson we're talking about.

If this isn't Rachel's last race, I'm pretty sure it's Calvin's as her pilot.

Bummer!

Give a different rider a chance.

Missed the race, only caught the winner's circle. They tried to hold her back again? Seriously?

Countdown to TFM.

I can't figure out why he didn't let her run on a bit when she moved alongside Be Fair just as they turned onto the backstretch.

Jeez, take the winner out of the field and Rachel wins by 8 on a soft pace. Then the critique becomes how easy she had it on the front end.

Stride is different this year.

What's there to say: 2nd time out she gets beat by a NOTHING.

It was the ride, again, I get it.:rolleyes:

The ****in' Horse of the Year needs yet another excuse.

Let's start some more threads now about how Z is ducking her.

DONE

How could they fire him for doing what he's told? It's not like that's how he's always ridden her. It's not his bright idea to go a slow half. You never know, though. Jess could decide he's gotta blame somebody.
