![]() Writing was on the wall when she missed her work yesterday. Now we get to watch Pletcher's 7th, 8th, and 9th string fillies square off in a G1. I wonder if they will train up to the Alabama now or consider the Dandy.
I'm sure ESPN is thrilled they adjusted their schedule to carry the race. |

![]() Did they delay the Monkey's work because of Rags, or did he come down with a fever as well?

To make a five furlong cut-back with an A.P. Indy offspring, exiting a very slow paced marathon, would be all the makings for a big upset loss. Where she is at right now, that race is simply way too sharp for her. |

![]() Sometimes I wonder about these kind of things.
If I was in Pletcher's position...after the Belmont Stakes win, it would have been very tempting to use some gamesmanship, and say Rags to Riches next race will be the Coaching Club. With the race being 10 furlongs at Belmont, he can basically scare off horses, forcing some decent ones who could have impacted the outcome to not even nominate, let alone not point for the race. Which ever one of the five other Pletcher horses nominated to this race that runs, will probably have an easier go of it now that some of the other competiton has been scarred off. |

Society Selection wasn't coming out of a race like the monumentally slow paced Belmont Stakes, and she is FAR better suited for sprint races than Rags to Riches. SS was out of the brilliant sprinting dam Love That Jazz (a half to Sea of Secrets), and I believe she won her debut going 5 furlongs at Saratoga. Rags To Riches is simply not bred to be a sprinter, and acts nothing like a spritner. I said she'd win the Kentucky Oaks after her 7 furlongs MSW win because I felt she looked pretty nice winning that race, and it was painfully obvious she would improve her form tremendously with more ground to work with. I would bet against her with unbridled enthusiasm if she did run in the Test. Which obviously won't happen. |
