To me, she ran basically the same type of race as her previous two.

The only difference being that instead of 10 lengths back to 3rd, it was 10 back to 2nd.

I completely agree with you. I don't understand why her natural speed isn't being used to full advantage like it was last year. It is almost as if they are set on having her engage in stretch battles so she can be better prepared to repel the challenge of a certain stretch runner.

Yeah, so can Blame run a little? I think so.

What are the odds of getting Blame, Zenyatta, Rachel, Quality Road in the same starting gate?

I highly doubt this.

Rachel Alexandra is back to her 108-110 Beyer form... and we'll see if she can keep it going the rest of the year. She does have to ship over the Allegheny Mountains en route to Saratoga.
