But since you're on the topic and depending upon who shows up as competition, don't be surprised if Rachel Alexandra struggles here.

i agree. yes, it will be great for belmont and racing "buzz" . betting wise its a joke. people are excited about putting her on top in a exacta. now i know why i do so well at the track! the only bet i could make in that race is a bet against her on top, or save my money because something else on that card will be 10 times better. heres one, RA with all, the highest exacta will pay 12.60, maybe.

So what's wrong with that? Is that $12.60 for $2?

Play a $20 exacta and you have $126.00. If there's a 5 horse field, and the second choice isn't a clear lock, then I don't see why this isn't a poor bet.

A few races back if you could eliminate Just Jenda and eliminate another filly whose name escapes me....then Afleet Deceit looked logical for second.
