I'd keep her against fillies and see how the Classic comes up and of course kick major ass next year too!

CCA Oaks....Alabama....easy prep for....Breeder's Cup Turf!

that way she would have beat the boys twice @ a mile & a half on both surfaces.

Nooo....I don't like the Dubai classic or Dubai anything....Aiming for the Breeder's Cup Classic is fine. Just keep her in the States

If I owned her? I'd sell her right away.

If I were Tabor though, I'd go CCA Oaks, Travers, Beldame and BC Classic.

Surprised to see people saying they'd sell her. If I owned a horse that good there'd be no amount of money big enough to sell her.

I'd sell her to the top slaughterhouse in France on the condition that I get first dibs on her hind quarter.

Her name doesn't make sense. She cost $1,900,000, yet she's called Rags to Riches lol.

if i owned her she'd be the largest asset i had by at least 40x and i'd want to diversify.

you only think you'd keep her. you'd live far beyond your present means for the rest of your life or...

have the pride of running her again.

as marsellus says to butch, "you'll feel a small twinge...that's pride"

the next line from that movie is how i feel.

But she's already won $1.2 million, that's plenty of money in my opinion.

It's not just the pride of seeing her run, if I had a horse who won even one of those great races the horse would become more than just an asset. I'd feel strongly attached to the horse, who would almost be part of the family.

I'd keep her. I guess it's understandable to feel otherwise, but I'd rather have $1 million and one of the best horses of her generation than lose her in exchange for more money than I'd ever need.

I'd run her in the Haskell to get a race over the BC track, Alabama, Beldame, and then make a decision on the BC depending on her Haskell race and who's left for the Classic.
