Maybe I'm in the minority but I thought Jess Jackson did everything perfectly from a fan perspective. We wanted to see Curlin as a 4YO- he did it. We wanted to see him try turf- he did it. We wanted to see him go back to dirt- he did it. We wanted to see him in the BC Classic- he did it. Why is Jess Jackson buying Rachel Alexandra so bad, especially if he's gonna do exactly what MOST racing fans want, to run her against males?

good post.... I dont think Jess Jackson is the problem (though I've heard lots of people in the industry have a problem with him) I think its ASSMAN that people would be upset about... I mean... who really wants to see ASSMAN train any good horse??

He has a lot of smaller owners win stakes at some track. Sometimes it seems like he has a horse in every stakes race across the country. Is there a trainer with more horses? I think he might have twice a many horses as the next(2nd on the list) mega trainer.

what outrage? the only real negative comments i saw were about the potential next trainer. everyone pretty much conceded they'd sell if given the chance.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack to thread. Back to why Gales thinks Borel will ride Mine that Bird.

it happens...it was almost as bad as malkin on the trip in game 2. pengooins have to be getting disheartened that they can't put the caps away at home. varlamov has been otherworldly. i want to know why he's so sure borel won't get the mount if she's in the preakness. they fit together-why eff it up?

“We are tremendously excited by the prospect of one day seeing the offspring of Curlin and Rachel Alexandra,” said Jackson. “But for now, the story of this filly is still being written. My four daughters and granddaughter will be delighted this super filly will race in our colors.” I think he truly does want to see her race. As to Bo-rail, I don't think he'll initially lose the mount because the PR would be too bad. And that is why I'd bet Mine that Bird scratches out of whatever race she goes in.
