since many are saying it's not a good field of older horses, and the race is made for rachel due to her morning line, i don't see how she'll be lauded if she wins...except for the fact she'll have done something no filly ever has done, win the woodward.

things is, years from now the field won't be mentioned-no one remembers anyone but the winner. it's the main reason why i say you can't judge a horses standing until their done and gone to pasture for a while. the great ones are the ones you remember.
