Default Was it Worth It?

I didn't want to make a poll but wanted to ask opinions on something. If Rachel never runs again or say she only runs once more, do you think it was worth it to have run today? I say yes. Every year, there is an Oaks winner, although of course, they don't win it by 20+. Every year there is an Acorn and Mother Goose winner and usually we don't remember who won the race the year before. They made history today. Nobody is going to forget this and I think that in the eyes of just about everyone, she is not only the best 3yo filly but the best 3yo period. I say it was worth it no matter what the future holds.

Rhetorical?

I don't know that I agree she is the best 3 year old, but she is one heck of a horse. Curlin and Rachel Alexandra to breed, also. That's going to be something special.
