He did race Curlin at 4 and he did have Curlin try the grass.. He bought her to race her and hopefully she will continue to be terriffic. ASS did do a fine job with Curlin I would expect that he does a nice job with the filly.. As for going in the Preakness..why not? She really has no comp in her division and maybe she wins the dam thing by 7 lengths and we have something amazing to talk about.. I would rather her against her own but have absolutely no doubt she can beat the vermin heading for the Preakness..She is a super filly I don't give a crap who owns her all I know is I dont..

would love to see rachel try the preakness and try the boys. there's nothing left in her division imo. either go vs males, or take on zenyatta-on dirt.

if it takes jackson buying her to see her vs males, i can live with that. assman....ech.

He wanted to run Curlin at 4 the court case didn't hurt running him at 4 but I never thought he would have retired the colt at 3.

no court case, no hold up on a stud deal. he'd have retired him in a heartbeat for the $$$. since he was hamstrung, he went for the earnings record since he was already running curlin.

Why because 80% of 30mil is changing Jess's lifestyle... I am fairly positive that is incorrect..

well, i don't know what to tell you. the 30 mill might not be life-changing, but jess hasn't built his bottom line by not doing the best thing financially. curlin would earn scads more in the barn than he would on the track..and jackson said a hundred times or more that 'curlin could contribute to the gene pool'. he wanted a deal after the bcc, none was forthcoming because no one wanted a part of the midnight cry b.s. he tried to resolve it and could not.

I have two questions.

1. If the preakness fills without RA isn't she still on the outside looking in as she wasn't originally nominated to the TC?

2. Who will Borel ride?

I'm bummed as I was hoping to never have to look a Jess Jackson's Mugg again.

my guess is Borel will stick with MTB and Robbie Albarado will get to ride RA if she goes

They better hope that check clears before Robbie gets aboard her.
