since the haskell is the only time they'll meet this year, you can't ignore the fact that rachel dominated summer bird that day. speculation about a rematch notwithstanding, facts are facts.
also, altho i think summer bird put on a nice show in the travers, it's far from a given that he wins his next two. good for ice taking him to cali, if that's what they choose to do. given the fact that summer bird usually tends to find his way on a track once he has a few works/gallops, they have to feel some confidence in their approach.
however, one mans treasure is another mans trash. jess jackson has been emphatic about not liking poly, and who is in the position to question his motives? he hasn't exactly taken a safe approach with rachel, as evidenced by two starts vs colts, including a classic win over the derby winner, as well as the second and third place finishers in ky. and now taking on open company in the woodward...if she wins there, it's yet another leg up on the 3 yo competition, who have yet to make the attempt.
