I know she's Rachel and everything but does everything think she stays as low as 1-2?

I think a lot of wise-guy handicappers are going to use this race as a chance to play against her. She's faster on paper, sure, but there's the big overhanging cloud about it being older boys not just her age etc.

I agree 1-2 is a bit much, but she is being spotted 8Lbs in the process.

Now if Macho Again or Bullsbay step up and win this making them a multple GI winner are they the new star of racing?

I hear you, there are no sure things in racing, but if this field was minus Rachel I don't think many would say this is allstar stellar group of older horses. Certainly not in the league of the Left Bank-Street Cry-Lido Palace-Macho Uno 2002 Whitney. I sense the tension is up that her supporters think she may not run her race, I don't know she has a good draw, she has the weight for sex advantage. If she runs her race she should win this. However 1-2 does seem low for the ML.
