![]() i just got home a bit ago, and went to bloodhorse. read the article about the race.
be fair, who duelled with rachel through the early going, finished where? rachel gets beat a head, at the wire, when her dancing partner finishes last, and people are complaining....there's no pleasing people i guess! hell, the way i was reading the posts, it's like she got beat the length of the stretch. gimme a break. but i do wish jess jackson, who probably couldn't tell one end of a horse from the other, or a filly from a colt, hadn't decided that she needed her racing style to be tinkered with. if it isn't broke, don't fix it! sheesh.

Now, I'm not saying that the 48.4 half mile was the only reason she got beat, but man, why take away your greatest asset by running such a pedestrian half mile? And, btw, there was no duel up front. Borel clearly rode RA to not get the lead (instructions or not). And why let other horses stay in the race when you can comfortably put them away by then? |

but you're absolutely right-taking away her best ability makes absolutely no sense. i almost feel sorry for asmussen having to put up with that pompous owner with the bright ideas. almost
