Uh dude, see the rules say you can supplement a horse, and they also would give Rachel enough graded earnings to've made the Derby field so it's not like she didn't earn it as you put it. I love how the president of the Jockey Club's cracking some heads. I bet some folks are wishing they'd kept their mouths shut about their lil plot.

Oh good, now we can all talk about what a great and sporting guy Zayat is for being above all this and not doing it. What a piece.
This would be one of the saddest moves in recent history if she gets left out because people fill the field because they're afraid of losing to her. What happened to good, old fashioned, ducking races you couldn't win?
Can't win the Preakness because your horse is no good? Turn it into a tough NW1X...good thinking. I hope MTB's connections and Whitney get all the terrible misfortune and bad racing karma they possibly can if they do this.
And without General Quarters in the race, I needed someone to root home for last. Now at least I have an idea who I'd prefer to see cross the wire last...who knew I'd ever say that about a Derby winner?
BF, that's what I think about this.
